These are very simple to make, but so effective! My mother made me a bunch for my birthday as she couldn't get out to buy me a real bunch due to the snow.
You will need: 1 sheet A4 green paper 1 sheet A4 yellow paper 1 sheet A4 orange paper Pritt stick (or other glue) scissors What to do: Start by making the leaves. Nothing here needs to be accurate. Fold the piece of green paper in half. Keeping it long ways, fold it again, approximately into thirds.
Then we need a trumpet. Use the orange paper and cut a small rectangle, about 2 inches high and 2.5 inches wide. Draw a line about half a centimetre from the bottom (of a long edge) and cut little snips from the edge to the line - giving it a fringe. Make a tube by rolling it from the short edges, and use a little glue to secure the edges together. Tuck the fringe under and put a little glue on the tabs. This can then be joined at the centre of the flower head.
Find a pretty vase!
Grandmas would love a bunch I'm sure!

Welcome!After studying for an Early Years Specialism degree (B.Ed. Hons), and teaching in mainstream education, I home-educated my own children, after my husband and I were persuaded of the need to take responsibility for bringing up our children 'in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.'
