How to make our paper daisy craft
Cut out several equal sized strips of white paper. Take six strips and glue them together in a flower like shape on to your paper – remember to only glue the centre and leave the ends of the strips loose.
Take the end of each strip, bring it inwards and glue it down in the middle of the flower.
Cut out and glue on a circle to make the centre of the flower.
Repeat the previous steps to make the desired amount of daisies.
Cut out a strip of green paper to make the stem and then add some green leaves.
Next, Cut out a strip of paper a few cms longer than the bottom of the picture and on one side cut out several triangles to make some spiky grass. Fold a small tab on each side of the grass and then use the tabs to glue the grass onto the picture. Once dry your little one’s cute paper daisy craft is ready to display!

How to make this cute paper flower pot craft
First start by painting one of the cups to make the plant pot. Then take the second cup and chop off a small section from the bottom. Paint this section the color you want your flower to be planted in; we used brown for soil. Then finally take your skewer and color it green to make the stem. pop them aside to dry – We used a small piece of polystyrene to stand our stem up in whilst it was drying.
Take the colored paper that you will be using for the flower head and cut it into 6-8 equal strips of paper. Glue your strips together at the center to form a sun shape as in the above picture.
Take the end of each strip and glue it down at the center
of the flower.
Continue this process with all of the strips and then glue down the button to make the center of the flower.
Attach your painted stem to the back of your the flower. Then cut out a strip of green paper and glue the two ends together to make a leaf. Glue the leaf onto the stem and repeat as desired.
Glue the end piece of cup down inside the plant pot cup so that the base is facing upwards. Pierce the flower stem through the upturned cup and then through the base of your plant pot cup so that it stands stiff. TIP: if your cup has a flat base rather than a raised base then a lump of blu tack in the bottom of the plant pot cup will give the stem something to stick in to. Add any extra decoration and once dry the flower is ready to display or gift!
