flowers
By Donna

Clip to ScrapBook   
I used the old "kleenex folding flowers" idea several years ago. I folded several colors --about 4-5 --of tissue paper together, like you are making a fan. I twisted a green pipe cleaner in the middle to hold them together.
Then I let the students "pull" the sheets apart. Afterwards I mounted them on a green floral stick with floral tape. Voila beautiful colored flowers. These were used at our fifth grade graduation. They were so colorful.

Another idea is to take bic pens and cut small blooms of artificial flowers and then "floral taped them" on to the pen winding the tape down near to the end of pen.

It makes a beautiful gift. A flower pen. I made a bunch and put them in a a flowerpot which had styrofoam in the middle. It made a beautiful table arrangement and then guests got to take one home.

Good luck..A retired teacher who still visits Proteacher
