Mother’s Day is right around the corner and kids always love making something extra-special to show their moms how much they love them. This simple craft is easy to assemble and it makes a great gift! 


What You’ll Need:

A blank canvas, card stock, cupcake liners, two photos of kids, scissors and glue.

  • 1 5x7 piece of stretched canvas
  • 1 5x7 piece of blue cardstock paper
  • 1 5x2 piece of patterned green cardstock paper
  • 1 piece of green craft foam
  • 2 cupcake liners (design of your choice)
  • a picture of your child
  • glue
  • scissors

How It's Made:

1. Lay down the piece of canvas. Glue the 5x7 sheet of blue cardstock paper to the piece of canvas. Then take the 5x2 piece of patterned green cardstock paper and glue it to the bottom of the canvas, covering the blue at the bottom.

3. Leave one cupcake liner as is and turn the other liner inside out. Glue the inside out liner inside the regular liner. This way, both the outside and the inside of the flower will show the patterned design of the cupcake liner.

4. Glue the cupcake liner to the top of the craft foam flower stem.

5. Cut the photo of your child into a circle the size of the cupcake liner base. Glue the photo in the centre of the liner. Allow to dry completely.
