What I love about these cards is that no two flowers will be the same. Kids can mix and match paint colors, to make beautiful multi-colored petals.
How to make plastic bottle flowers for cards
Supplies needed:
Card stock -white Acrylic paint – assorted colors Crayons – green and a second color for the ribbon Plastic bottle Paintbrush Paper plate to pour the paint on
Instructions:
Fold your card stock in half. Using the paintbrush, paint the bottom of your plastic bottle. You can use just one color, or use a variety of colors. Notice how each flower looks completely different as you blend colors together. You can wash your bottle if you want to between brushing on paint, but we just kept blending more colors as we made each new flower.
Stamp the bottle onto the front of your folded card. Repaint, and then repeat to make three pretty flowers.
Paint the lid of your plastic bottle and stamp it in the center of each flower.
Using crayons, add stems and ribbons to your painted flowers so they look like a pretty bouquet.
Set your card aside to dry completely before you open it and write a message inside for mom.
