Mother’s Day Flowers

Step 1:

What you will need:

- Egg carton- Scissors- Glue- Coloured paints- Coloured paper- Paint brush

Cut out each of the egg cups from your egg carton. For three flowers, cut out six egg cups. Cut the tops off the centre points in the egg carton and set these aside for later.

Step 2:Paint each of the egg cups and the tops from the centre points. Two egg cups make one flower, so paint in groups of two!

Step 3:

After the paint has dried, glue one egg cup inside a second egg cup. Repeat for all egg cups to create your flowers!

Step 4: Step 5:Glue the centre pieces inside the flowers. Top tip - mix and match for a pop of colour!

Carefully cut each side of the egg cups into a petal shape. Repeat on all six egg cups.
