DIY Mother's Day flower pot card

Every year I make these cute flower pot Mother's Day cards with my students, and I adore how they turn out, so I thought I'd share how we make them!

Materials you need:

Construction paper

Scissors

Glue

Yarn or embroidery thread

Marker

Picture of child
(*UPDATE* Printable template available here.)

I cut the flowers differently every year- once with a die-cut, another time by hand (4 flowers/ student x 40 students= major time suck!), and this year with a scrap-booking punch.

I love seeing this part with kids' handwriting- very cute!

**You can use tape or staples instead of glue for a faster process.  When I made these with my class this past week I used staples to attach the string to the pot and close the sides of the pot.  I used tape to attach the flowers and string together.  No mess and no dry time so we could send them home with the kids an hour later! **

 

Put the flowers in the pot "envelope" so mom can pull them out.

And your card is ready!  Cute, unique, and interactive.  I love making these with my students!  They take some time and require some (well, a lot of) adult assistance, but are very cute when completed!

If you didn't catch my link and the top, I've put together a printable template on a new post, with ideas for using to make this project super easy!
