Nothing says "I love you, Mom" better than a homemade craft for Mother's Day. You can make her a special Poem Card, or bring a smile to her face with this Mother's Day Flower Card!

Materials

• coffee filters - 2 for each flower
• green pipe cleaners
• markers

• construction paper
• scissors
• tape

Instructions

1.
Start by decorating the coffee filters with markers: dots, squiggles, stripes, etc.
2.
Place one filter on top of the another. Pinch the filters together at the middle, wrap a pipe cleaner around and twist, leaving enough for a stem. Do this for each flower.
3.
Fold a sheet of construction paper in thirds.
4.
Cut out the vase with the sides of the vase remaining on the folds.
5.
Tape the flower stems to center vase shape.
6.
Fold in the vase on the left to cover the stems and make a pouch by gluing the edges.
7.
Write your message on the remaining vase shape and close your card. Then give it to mom and watch her smile!

Tips

• You can write a note, poem or message on the front as well, but write it before you attach the flowers.
