Make a Spider-Lily flower for your Mom in 5 mins!

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and I got this lovely ‘bouquet’ of flowers from my 7 year old son.

He ‘taught’ me how to make it, and gosh, its so super easy, takes about 5 mins only and rather fun so I am showing you the steps to do it.

First, get ready these materials: Two pieces of colored paper, stapler, a straw and a
of scissors.

Next, place your hand on a colored paper, draw out the shape of your hand and then cut out the shape of your hand on the paper.

Place the straw on the cut out shape. Fold in the paper as shown and wrap the 'hand' shape around the straw. Keep wrapping until the whole hand is wrapped around the straw and then staple it to secure the shape to the straw.

Now, use a pen or pencil and roll it around the ‘finger’s of your cut-out shape.  This will form as the ‘petal’ of the spider lily.  Keep rolling all the ‘petals’ until you get curled up petals like this.

 

Finally, do up the ‘leaves’.  Just draw out two leaves on green colored paper, cut them out and attach to the straw.

If you want, make several of the same flower and put them together in a ‘vase’ like this! 

   

Happy Mother’s Day! :)
