Photo Bouquet

Description

Make the photo frame flowers from foam, decorate, then add your favorite photos and make a photo bouquet. Cute gift for grandparents or a gift home from school for Mother's Day.

Materials

• Foam in various colors.
• Printable Flower Pattern
• Craft Glue
• Fabric Paint in Squeeze Bottles (Scribbles) found at craft stores or stores with craft sections like WalMart
• Colored Craft Sticks or 20ga Floral Wire
• Photo 2 in x 1.5 inches

Other Materials

• Other decorations: Glitter Glue, Buttons, foam stickers, etc.
• Scissors
• Clear Packing tape

Steps

• Print out the flower page and trace onto your foam or cut your own foam flowers.
• Decorate the flower with your choice of stickers, glitter glue, ribbon, beads etc. Use craft glue to adhere for better bond.
• Let dry.
• Print photos 2 in x 1.5 in.
• Place glue around the entire circle ring. Center the photo in the back of each of the flower ring.
• Add a little more glue and place ring with photo onto flower.

Tips and Suggestions

• You can do a single flower but adding a flower on the back allows you to "arrange" the bouquet without worrying about seeing the back.
• We used floral wire for a taller flower. Chenille stems are not strong enough to support the weight of the flower.

Other Ideas

Photo Mobile

Another variation on this toddler activity is to make a mobile. If you have a single hole punch, punch holes in the flower and string ribbon through the holes and hang from a colored hangar.
