{one comment}

Posted in: Crafts, Home DecorMarch 18, 2009



Yellow daffodils are always a sign of early spring! They represent a long winter’s rest and the welcoming of spring to come! Enjoy making these golden flowers that will last all year round from Marcel’s Kid Crafts!

Supplies:

  • 1 Empty egg carton
  • All purpose adhesive
  • Scissors
  • Acrylic paints ( yellow, orange, green)
  • 1 Thin stick
  • Water

Directions:

1. Cut 3 peaks out of an egg box and cut off the top of another peak for the calyx.

2. Wet the two peaks for the petals and wait a few minutes.

3. Form the petals with your fingers to look like a flower.

4. Wait until it dries.

5. Paint them with the acrilyc paint. They will become solid after the paint dries.

6. First glue the calyx on a thin, green painted stick. Make sure that the calyx is attached firmly to the stick.

7. Then, glue the remaining stuffs together as shown.

8. Finally, glue the flower to the calyx.
