Today I'm sharing a fun Mother's Day craft and gift idea. I don't usually tell you to stop reading my posts, but if you're a mom and you love flowers, you may just want to stop reading. Pass your phone or your computer to your hubby or your kids with a little, "Hint, hint" and a wink. Unless, that is, that you are looking for a great gift to give to Grandma, a friend, or a teacher. If you are, then keep reading. Once you've selected your favorite style of paper flowers, head here for free printables (for Grandma and Mom) to complete your gift.
These paper flowers are all great crafts for kids to make. They're perfect for moms and grandmas, but they'd be great gifts for others as well. Teacher appreciation is just around the corner. Wouldn't a vase of these gorgeous flowers look great on a teacher's desk or book shelf?
Which one is your favorite?
