Cupcake Wrapper Flowers

Missing Summer Yet?  We are!  Make these cute flowers to bring the warmth back into your home with your little ones. 
You probably already have the items necessary to make these cute spring flowers at your home.    Kids love how simple and adorable they are. 

 Items needed:

Popsicle sticks

Buttons or beads

Cupcake wrappers

Markers or paint

Glue

Green construction paper

 
Steps:
Paint your popsicle sticks green or use a marker to color them and let dry. 
 Paint your cupcake wrappers as well if you want.
 
 
Push wrappers inside out and glue to your popsicle stick.
Glue beads or buttons in the center of your cupcake wrapper.
 
Fold your construction paper in half and draw a leaf on the folded edge.  Cut them out, unfold and glue to back of your sticks.
 
 
You can really get creative with these by doubling up the wrappers to create a layered look or by cutting the wrappers to form shaped petals and you can use almost anything for the center of the flower!   Play with them individually or glue them to a piece of construction paper to display!
