    We have been planting a lot of flower seeds in our yard, but it can be hard for my kids to wait for them to bloom. To help fill the time until our flowers grow, we have been having fun making our own flower art. You may have seen our Coffee Filter Flowers which can be a great play prop. Today, I am sharing some Glitter Flower Art for Kids. You probably already have all the supplies you need to make these pretty Spring blooms. Make some while you wait for your garden to grow!

    ⭐Why this Flower Craft is Awesome

    • Kids of all ages will have so much fun with this fun craft.
    • Easy to make using craft supplies you already have at home.
    • Fun craft for spring or Mother's Day.


    🖍️Supply Notes

    • Glitter - You will want to use various colors of glitter for the most eye-catching craft.
    • 12x18 construction paper - We used yellow paper. You can use white or something light where the glitter flower will pop.
    • Glue - We used gel glue, but white glue works as well.
    • Paper towel tubes - These will be used to form the flower. You can also use toilet paper tubes.
    • Tray - You will squeeze the glue onto the tray.
    • Green tissue paper - To make the stem of the flower.

    📋Step by Step Instructions

    STEP 1: You will need two paper towel tubes for this activity. Leave one as is and squeeze the end of the other so it forms a petal shape.

    STEP 2: Squirt some glue onto a tray. Pick up the round tube and dip it into the glue and stamp it on the construction paper.

    STEP 3: Apply the stamp in the upper middle section of the construction paper. You will want to leave room for a stem.

    STEP 4: Pick a color of glitter and sprinkle over the glue. Shake off the excess glitter onto another piece of paper or a paper plate.

    STEP 5: Dip the petal-shaped tube in glue and apply it on paper to make the flower petals. Then sprinkle the glue on the petals. Shake off the glitter.

    STEP 6: When you are done making the glitter flowers, you can add a stem made from green tissue paper. We just used some green tissue paper for this step. Measure how much tissue paper you will need to go from the flower to the bottom of the paper. Bunch up the tissue paper and glue it to the construction paper. You can also glue on two tissue paper stem petals.

    Enjoy your beautiful flower garden!

    ✂️Expert Tips

    Tip 1: We glued and glittered one petal at a time since my daughter wanted multi-colored petals. If you want all your petals to be the same color then the process will be easier as you can stamp the glue for all the petals and then just add the glitter all at once.

    Tip 2: You can add some tissue paper grass to the bottom of the paper.


    🤷🏻‍♀️Craft FAQs

    Can I use glitter glue instead of glue and loose glitter?

    You can but the finished product will not be as sparkly.

    Can I use just a single color of glitter for this paper flower craft?

    Yes! My daughter preferred her flower to be made with rainbow colors. It is up to you.

    What can I use for the stem instead of tissue paper?

    You can also cut out green paper and use that for the stem and petals.
