I was recently over at my inlaws looking through old things in their basement. I took some old silk flowers, and came up with a really quick way to use them to make a beautiful spring collage.
- pull the petals and leaves off the stems
- place clear protector roll sticky side up on a table (see this post for clear protector details)
- let the kids throw the petals and leaves down on the sticky protector
- press a piece of bristol board over top
- flip it over — done
This is an especially popular one with toddlers. It’s easy and not messy, and it can keep them busy for a long time.
