Arrange a bouquet of wildflowers
Here's what you'll need:
- sturdy cardboard
- Coloured pencils

You can put wildflowers not only in a glass vase, but also on this paper vase. That way, you’ll have a beautifully designed card straight away. Perhaps you’d like to press and dry the flowers first?
- Draw a vase on the lower half of a piece of stiff cardboard.
- Punch holes in the top half of the cardboard.
- Collect colourful wildflowers and thread the stems through the holes provided.
- This is how a creative bouquet picture is created
Tulip card made from cotton wool pads
These tulips never wilt. Why not draw a bouquet for your loved ones yourself and have a go with the colours and pipettes?
Here's what you'll need:
- Cotton pads
- scissors
- Glue
- sturdy construction paper
- Acrylic paints
- pipette
- Coloured pencils
- Carefully fold the cotton pad in half and cut out a small round corner.
- Dilute the acrylic paints with water and use a pipette to drip the paint onto the cut-to-size cotton pads. Then leave them to dry thoroughly.
- Stick the dried cotton wool pads onto a card made of coloured paper and use a pen to draw leaves and stems on the tulips.
And there you have it: a beautiful Mother’s Day card!
