How To Make 3D Flower Craft

The most exciting part of this craft is going on a nature hunt to collect supplies. You can explore your own yard. Simply go for a walk, or even to the park. While you are out collect some twigs, leaves, flowers, and grass, or any other exciting pieces of nature you find along the way.

Start by adding glue to the tips of your leaves.

Glue the leaves tips in a circle to create a flower shape.

Add glue small flowers to the middle of the leaves.

Next, add a glue strip down from the leave flower as well as along the bottom of the paper.

Grass Art

When I think of flowers, I always think of the beautiful and delicate butterflies that like to visit them. You can add a pretty butterfly by gluing a stick to the cardstock.

Adding glue to each side of the twig to create a butterfly shape.

Place your beautiful flower petals on each of the sides of the stick to create the wings.
