    I love receiving flowers, but the only problem with them is that they don't last forever. That is why these paper flowers are perfect to make for someone you love. They look pretty, last a long time, and can be created in any color combination you prefer. This Flower Craft Idea is perfect to make with older kids since they have the fine motor skills needed to cut out the flowers. I have included a free template that you can get to make your flowers look perfect! Be sure to also check out this flower craft and learn how to make a mother's day card.
