Apparently it was Teacher Appreciation day on the 5th of October(we missed it somehow), so we decided to make something for Lella’s teacher, just to show her some love. Flowers are always a nice gesture, and something handmade, so we combined the two and made these lovely flowers in a vase, everything from our recycling storeroom. (Yes, we have a whole room full of stuff we can use for crafts, heaven!)
We used:
– egg cartons, cut like flowers
– kebab sticks
– glass juice bottle
– paint
Painting the flowers
Cutting pieces of tissue paper, but tearing it works better (she just loves cutting).
Sticking the paper onto the bottle with the mod podge.
We painted the sticks and glued them onto the egg carton flowers. Here they are drying.
So chuffed! On the way to school to give to her Teacher Magda;)
This was fun, and green! (we love recycling crafts, don’t you?)

I love how you cut the egg cartons to make them look more like petals! Featured you on Mom’s Library this week!
