Recycled Blooms
This craft will teach your kids how easy (and pretty!) reusing trash can be.
- Empty toilet-paper tubes
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Kid-friendly scissors
- Bamboo skewers
- Paint
- Paintbrush
- Tissue paper
- Green cardstock
- Draw a ring 2 inches from edge of tube. Repeat on other end. Then, from each 2-inch ring, draw cut lines every 1/2 inch. Snip along each line to make petals.
- Fold petals back to create flower. Paint flower and bamboo skewers; let dry. Cut out green leaves and glue to skewers.
- Push the skewer through one end of the flower's center until it just touches the other end. Crumple an 8-inch square of tissue paper and place in the center.

We used stuff we already had around the house, rather than buying new craft supplies. Tissue paper from old gifts you have recieved may be colored with markers. Instead of bamboo skewers, we used pipe cleaners- two twisted together because they are more weak than bamboo. We didn't have cardstock for the leaves, so we used construction paper. They turned out quite nicely
