2. Tissue Paper Flowers- Mother’s Day Crafts for older kids
If your mom loves flowers this is a great way to show her how much you care on Mother’s Day. They’re easy to make and only require a few materials. Plus, they make a beautiful homemade gift that she’ll cherish forever.
To make the flowers, you will need:
– Tissue paper in various colors
– Scissors
– Floral wire
– A pencil

2. Take your scissors and cut from corner to corner,(open end, not the folded corner). Once you’ve made your cuts, unfold the paper and start shaping it into a flower.
3. To do this, simply lay down each layer of tissue paper from the bottom to the top.. Once all the layers are in place, use your hot glue gun to attach a piece of floral wire to the center of the flower. This will act as the stem.
4. Repeat this process until you have enough flowers for your Mother’s Day bouquet. Arrange them in a vase or wrap them in tissue paper to give as a gift. Your mom is sure to appreciate the thoughtfulness and effort you put into making these beautiful flowers.
