Craft with Flowers
One of my favorite things about spring and summer is the abundance of beautiful flowers in various shapes, sizes, and COLORS! Sadly, some flowers bloom for only a matter of weeks before they are done for the year. This beautiful flower craft for kids allows you to preserve your flowers beauty just before they start fading… so you can enjoy them the rest of the summer!
You need access to flowers (in your backyard or cut flower that are past their prime), green plates, and self-seal laminating sheets.
Start out by cutting out the center of the small green plate, leaving the circle frame intact.
Fold a self-seal laminating sheet in half then cut the sheet to the size of the green plate frame.
Open up half of the laminating sheet (unto the fold) and have your child place flower, pedals, or leaves on the sheet in the pattern they like.
Flower Crafts
Now press the other half of the laminating sheet on top of the flowers and press the entire area to seal well.
Suncatcher Craft
Tape the self-sealing-laminating sheet to the back (white side) of the paper plate.
There you have it – a simple to make, pretty summer craft with flowers that kids of all ages will enjoy making.
Flower Craft Ideas
I love the way the air pockets and creases in the self-sealing laminating pages look. They give it such a pretty antiqued look. Pretty, right?
These beautiful flower suncatchers will brighten up any window. Each one is different and fun to make. Plus these suncatchers make a great gift for Mothers Day, Fathers Day, or Grandparents Day.
