Flowers are a wonderful gift, if only they would last longer. With these flower gifts that you can make with your kids, they will last perhaps longer than the recipient would like them to! Or the flowerpots are perfect for presenting real flowers or plants.
Make this
photo flower bouquet from paper, using photos as the center of the flower. Glue onto a chenille stem and present as a bouquet or in a vase. I like the idea of using patterned paper;
handmade paper would look stunning, as would
scrapbooking paper.
It is so easy to
paint this clay flowerpot. All you need are some acrylic paints and your creativity. You can plan a pattern with your kids beforehand, use some
stencils or let them go, Jackson Pollock style. You know they will come up with something spectacular, and uniquely "them."
Admit it; those pens decorated like flowers are pretty cute. Make a
flowerpot pen holder and you'll give a perfect gift. You'll need a pot, plaster of Paris (or floral foam), paint, a hot glue gun and the items to make the flower pen.
These
paper blossoms, made from tissue paper glued to a real branch, are actually quite stylish and can be displayed in chic homes and fit right in.
Another pot, the
sunshine flower pot, is made from a styrofoam cup, buttons and paint. It's a cheerful way to welcome spring, with its happy yellow and colorful button trim. For a more lasting gift, you could use a clay pot or even a plastic pot for this project.
If you are hankering for a live flower gift idea, check out the
recipe box brimming with live roses. It's easy to make and the box lives on as a useful place to store recipe cards.
So welcome in spring, Mother's Day, birthdays or just because with these unique floer-themed gifts you can make with your kids.
