If you follow along with us regularly, you probably know that we are preparing for a move. The past few days we have done almost nothing but pack. My home is filled with boxes, bubble wrap & newspaper. Mai has colored on all of our boxes.

She has popped a little too much bubble wrap & yesterday we took a break from packing to make a quick craft out of newspaper & buttons. My daughter is wild about button crafts. Her eyes light up every time I pull out our big bag of buttons. This is an easy an pretty one that even your smallest crafter can make.

To form your flowers, glue one large button with smaller buttons surrounding it. Glue a smaller button into the center of your flower. I explained to Mai how to do this & she picked it up quickly.

Use a hot glue gun to glue pipe cleaners for the stems & leaves. (Glue gun should be operated by an adult for safety)

  1. These are so cute and by the way, I got something delivered to my house with bubble wrap the other day and my girls had a blast playing with it. Seriously, I buy all these expensive toys and this entertained them for hours. Go figure! 🙂

    1. Thanks Janine! It is funny how we buy them all of these toys and all we had to do is buy bubble wrap. Lol
