PREP
Turn your white paper horizontally, fold it in half, and glue the inside.
Set aside the white folded paper until later.
VASE
Turn your colored paper horizontally, fold it in half, and draw a vase with a handle.
If you’re making more than one, stack the folded colored paper behind, firmly hold the colored papers, and cut through.
3. Glue the top and bottom layers of the vase together.
PAINT
Create floral designs and dots on each vase with the white paint and brush.
FLOWERS
Fold a portion of the tissue paper into narrow strips, cut 2- inch sections, and then butterfly shapes from each section.
Unfold the petal sections, add glue between each sheet, rotate the pieces as you glue them, and then pinch the bottom to gather the tissue.
ASSEMBLE
Cut the pipe cleaner into fourths and glue the flower stems onto the page with Tacky Glue.
Glue the vase over the stems and the flowers to the page, right above the stems.
That’s it!
Happy crafting
Amanda and Naomi
