My oldest son, Jacob created an adorable bouquet of flowers for me! These flowers are made from plastic Easter eggs. The eggs give this colorful bunch of flowers a cute pop!
------------------------------------
Supplies used:
- colored construction paper
- stiff cardboard - cereal box cardboard will work
- plastic Easter eggs (bottom half only)
- green pipe cleaners - AKA: chenille stems
- glue stick
- hot glue (adult supervision is required for younger children)
- pencil
- scissors
---------------------------------------
How to make them:
- Use a pencil and half-eggs to create a symmetrical flower shape on the colored construction paper.
- With a glue stick, glue the colored paper flower onto the stiff cardboard.
- Glue another sheet of the same color to the back of the cardboard - sandwiching the cardboard between the colored paper.
- Cut out the flower shape.
- Hot glue the egg-bottom to the center of the flower. Add hot glue only to the inside edge of the egg.
- Twist 3 or 4 green pipe cleaners (chenille) together to make a strong stem.
- Hot glue one end of the pipe cleaner stem to the back-center of the flower.
- That's it! Now make a few more to create a bouquet!

This activity is a great way to recycle old plastic Easter eggs!
The kids can make these crafts for Mother's Day or for Our Lady!
