HAPPINESS GIVEAWAYS

Mum woke up this morning and thought about how to teach Dawn, her beautiful daughter how to build a happier, stronger and kinder world.

Thinking aloud, Mum said, "Ahaa! We can make paper flowers as: Happiness Giveaways."

'Dawn!" Mum called out to Dawn.

"Yes Mum," Dawn answered.

"Let us make paper flowers as happiness giveaways. We can give them out to families, neighbours and friends," Mum told Dawn.

Dawn was super excited about the. Idea.

"Yessss! I am in!" Dawn told Mum. 

Mum and Dawn set out to make paper flowers and paper flower vases. Dad met them, and joined in the fun.

Here are some paper flowers and the vase that Mum, Dawn and Dad made to give out to families, friends and neighbours, in the hope that they would spread happiness all around them.

Crafts methods:

A: Paper Flower:

1. Cut out two different coloured papers in circles of two different sizes, i.e. one big and one small circle.

2. Glue the two papers on top of each other.

3. Glue coloured rice on top of the last paper, ( you can use food colouring to make your coloured rice. Make sure to use dry raw rice).

4. Glue a straw to the back of the two papers that you have glued together.

Voilà, you have your flower!

Note: kindly note that the method shown above is for just one flower.

B: Paper Flower Vase:

 1. Get the core or the cardboard roll inside a toilet paper, close one part of the circle.

2. Glue a fancy paper like the one  used for the flower. Ensure it goes round the core of the toilet roll.

3. You can glue another small strip of different coloured paper round your craft.

Then you have your paper flower vase.
