We love coupling our crafts with books and one of our favorites in spring is Planting a Rainbow Garden by Lois Ehlert. This colorful paper doily flowers craft goes along perfectly with this book!

HOW TO MAKE COLORFUL PAPER DOILY FLOWERS

Supplies:

colorful mini doilies (I found ours at Michael’s but here are similar ones on Amazon.)
blue and green cardstock paper
scissors
glue

Directions:

1. Start by cutting slits around each of your doilies. We used 2 doilies per flower to add extra color and depth to the craft. Add some glue to the back of your doilies and glue them onto your blue cardstock paper, layering two per flower.

2. Bend the sections up around each of the doilies to make them stand up off the page. For the center of our flowers, we cut out the center of yellow doilies and glued them onto the flowers. If you don’t have yellow doilies you can use yellow cardstock or construction paper.

3. Cut flower stems out of your green cardstock paper and glue them onto your flowers. Then cut a strip of green for grass at the bottom of your paper. Cut slits along the edge of it and glue it onto your paper.
