Flower-Pot Picture Garden

Why

A garden of your friends, pets, or family will look great "growing" on your windowsill and it never needs watering! What a cool photo display--no green thumb required!


Steps

1. With Crayola® Scissors, cut Crayola Color Explosion paper into flower shapes big enough to hold a small photo inside. Cut a picture of yourself, family, pets, or friends for the center of each flower. Glue them in place with Crayola School Glue. Air dry.

2. Decorate your flowers with the Color Explosion color-reveal markers and Crayola Glitter Glue. Glue a chenille stem to the back of each flower for a stem. Air-dry.

3. Insert a foam ball snuggly into each flower pot. Poke stems into the balls. Cut, decorate, and glue strips of Color Explosion paper on top of the balls to look like moss or stones. Make leaves to glue to the stems. Air-dry. What an eye-catching photo display!
