Paper flower wreath

As promised, here is the wreath the girls created this year to lay down on ANZAC day.

The 'leaves' are their hand prints traced onto various shades of green cardboard and the flowers are mostly made from patty cake wrappers, with some cellophane, string and a couple of other things thrown in as details. One girl even made her flower using the lid of the patty cake container. Can you spot it? (Hint: Look for the barcode!)

The base is three thick cardboard rings hot glued together. The outside circle is the size of a dinner plate and the inner circle, a cereal bowl. This is then wrapped completely in a green streamer, so that it didn't matter is the base showed through.The ribbon was added next, with the handprints hot glued on top.

And finally the flowers.

I wasn't expecting everybody to make their flowers from the cake wrapper, but when one was made the others were inspired. But I do love how unique each flower is. Such creativity!
