I am a big fan of any crafts that can be done and recycle things at the same time. This one is such a great craft for both and it is something that the kids can do easily. These great flowers can be made at anytime and will keep the kids busy during Spring Break.
Materials Needed:
- Empty 2 liter plastic bottle
- White glue
- Scissors
- Markers
- Acrylic paints
- Paint brushes
- Sandpaper
- Stickers
- Skewers
Instructions:
- Cut the plastic bottle one-third of the way down from the top
- Sand the bottle using sandpaper
- Mark at least 5 “petals” using a waterproof marker
- Cut out the petals
- Coat with a layer of white glue and let dry
- Paint and decorate the petals using acrylic paints, waterproof markers and other stickers and glitter
- Poke a small hole through the bottle cap
- Place a skewer through the hole and screw back onto the bottle
- There you have it! A colorful spring flower.
