I spoke about floating friendship flowers in my last post so thought that i'd share my template so that you can make your own. I've used these on recent friendship themed night and also at a Guides Own ceremony.
Make sure that the flowers are cut out carefully, especially the little white triangles in between the petals. If you don't cut these out the flowers will not fold or unfurl nicely.
Once the flowers are cut, get the Guides to write their name in the centre and decorate their flowers. Then pass the flowers around and have other Guides write messages on the petals, perhaps reasons why they are a great friend!
Fold each petals in, covering the centre of the flower. Gently drop the little bundle onto of a pool of water (we just used large tubs) and wait as the flowers open. Some will be quite fast and others will take their time. Be patient!
