Today Mini Piwi and I made a flowery hair garland inspired by the Flower Loving Foofa. I was inspired by all the great ideas at
The crafty Crow.
All you need to make this is
- a cardboard egg carton
- Crayons, markers....(We like to use oil pastels on egg cartons -it goes on like paint but doesn't need to dry)
- Tape or glue
- Stapler
 |
| 1. Separate the 'cups' but cutting or tearing them apart. Doing a mixture of both gives it a different look and gave Mini Piwi a chance to try out both skills |
 |
| 2. Color the inside of each cup with Oil pastels, markers, crayons... |
 |
| 3. Make cuts in each 'cup' and gently fold the 'petals' back. The petals don't have to be the same size. |
 |
| 4. Make the yellow centers for the flowers. You can color your own like we did or cut out circles from yellow paper/card. Mini Piwi chose to make leaves instead... |
 |
| 5. Use glue or double sided tape to stick the centers into the flowers. The scientific name escapes me...disk or floret? |
 |
| 6. Measure the circumference of your YGG fan's head and Lay out the flower pattern you would like, |
 |
| 7. Staple each flower to the next until you have the desired length. Check it and then staple the first one to the last so that you have a wreath. |
Mini Piwi loved her new head decoration and spent the rest of the day being a 'Foofa ballerina'. She was most upset that she couldn't wear it in the bath.
