These craft ideas come from The Best of Children’s Art & Crafts. You will need: coloured plastic cups tissue paper or paper serviettes stickers for decoration drinking straws with bendable joint vase, pot or branch glue adhesive tape scissors Step 1 Using scissors, cut the rim off a plastic cup. Fringe the cup from the rim almost to the base, without breaking off the pieces. One cup can be glued inside another to make extra petals, if desired. Step 2 Gently bend the petals back. Crumple a piece of tissue paper or paper serviette and glue it into the base of the cup. Crumple tiny balls of a contrasting colour paper and glue them around the edge of the first paper centre. Decorate the flower with stickers. Step 3 Trim a drinking straw to desired size, tape to back of flower for the stem. Step 4 Arrange flowers in a vase or pot, or tape to a branch for display. For variation, cut individual petal shapes from plastic cup or plate and glue together at the flower centre. Use the base of a second cup for the centre and fill with coloured cotton wool, or decorate with stickers.
