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

Materials

• coffee filters - 2 for each flower

Instructions

1.
Start by decorating the coffee filters with markers: dots, squiggles, stripes, etc.

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.

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.
