Supplies for the Paper Flower Bouquet
- Green cardstock (for stems and leaves)
- Color foam sheets (for flower petals — pink, red, yellow, purple work great)
- Glitter foam (for an extra sparkle effect)
- Glue (a glue stick or craft glue both work)
- Scissors (adult use for younger children)
- Optional: ribbon or tissue paper to wrap the finished bouquet
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cut the stems: Cut several long, thin strips from green cardstock — these will be the flower stems.
- Cut the leaves: Cut small teardrop-shaped leaves from green cardstock.
- Cut the petals: From color foam, cut flower-petal shapes. You can make tulips, roses, daisies, or any flower shape kids prefer.
- Cut the centers: From glitter foam, cut small circles to be the centers of each flower.
- Assemble each flower: Glue the petals together, then add the glitter center on top. Glue each finished flower to the top of a stem.
- Add leaves: Glue the leaves along the stems for extra dimension.
- Bundle the bouquet: Gather all the flowers together and wrap with ribbon or tissue paper.
- Add a personal note: Tuck a small handwritten card inside the bouquet — see message ideas below.

Tips for the Best Paper Flower Bouquet
- Mix flower types: A bouquet with three different flower shapes (tulips, roses, daisies) looks more visually interesting than identical ones.
- Use a vase: Pop the finished bouquet into a small jar or vase so mom can display it permanently.
- Add scent: A drop of essential oil on each flower gives the bouquet a real flower fragrance.
- Curl the petals: Use a pencil to gently curl each petal for a 3D, lifelike look.
- Combine with other crafts: Pair with a heart card craft or a cute Mother’s Day card for a full gift set.
- Personalize the colors: Use mom’s favorite color as the dominant petal color.
