For the first day in a long while, it was raining outside. So, we had to entertain ourselves inside the house and Kendra decided that we needed some new flowers for mommy's table. So, this is what we did:
1. We gathered all the things that we would need: scraps of paper, pipe cleaners, buttons, paper cutter and a hole punch.
2. Decide on a colour for your flower and cut the paper into 6 strips. It really doesn't matter how long or wide you make them - it just makes a different shape flower!
3. Punch 3 holes in each strips - one on each end and one in the middle.
4. Poke the strips through the pipe cleaner, first the middle hole and then the 2 outer ones. Do this with all 6 strips.
5. Finally, choose a button and poke it through the pipe cleaner and then poke the pipe cleaner back through the button and down through all the holes again. Twist on the bottom under the flower.
6. Voila! A beautiful bouquet of flowers, that require no watering, don't wilt and look kinda cute on the table!

Very creative! They are quite beautiful all in a bunch like that... I will have to try making these with my kids.
