Accordion-Fold Flowers
Surprise someone you love with a bold bouquet of flowers! These are so colorful your green thumb will want to make more!
1. There are lots of ways to make paper flowers. Here’s an easy method. Using Crayola® Washable Markers and/or Gel Markers, color both sides of four sheets of white paper (to make four flowers). You can scribble, draw dots, lines, or zigzags of color. Use your imagination!
2. Lay the paper width wise. Starting at the top, fold four times like an accordion. Cut the folded paper in half (across the folds) with Crayola Scissors. On each piece cut a V on one end about halfway up the paper. Open the folded papers. Lay them flat with the V side on top.
3. Dot Crayola School Glue on the straight edge of paper, one piece at a time. Gather and pinch the glued edge on the chenille stick. Press with your fingers to make it stick. Use two pieces for each flower. Air-dry your flowers.
4. Gather your bouquet and tie with a bright ribbon. Give it to someone you love with a note of appreciation or thanks!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
