It's Here, It's Here!

The day has finally come!  The first day of our 24 craft days!  I'm so excited!  Let's go!

Today's craft is a Brazilian Holiday Flower.   This craft can be conveniently found  here.   Holiday decorations in Brazil are flowers that are picked from their garden (backyard).  These flowers are fresh.  Since it is winter here in the Midwest, we don't have any flowers growing outside, so, we are going to have to make our own.  I don't know about you, but, anything that keeps me thinking about warm weather makes me happy. 

You don't need a lot of supplies for this project:
Wooden craft spoons
brown paint or markers
2 foam flower stickers (the same size)
4 foam dots
2 green foam hearts
glue

Let the fun begin!

First, gather your supplies

 

Now, color the sticks.  We used markers, but, feel free to use brown paint

Next is the sticker.  If you don't have a foam flower sticker, you can always draw a flower on construction paper and cut it out.

We used small green foam hearts for the leaves.  Cut in half, thenround the leaf out by giving it a little trim

And, there you have it!

They make great accessories, too!

We had fun making our craft.  Hope you enjoyed it, too.  Looking forward to day two.  See you tomorrow!
