Instructions for craft foam flowers

2. Paint the stems. Allow to dry.
The stems have a tendency to curl a bit after they are painted. Place them under a heavy book to straighten if necessary.
3. Poke a hole through the center of the craft foam flower cutout, and through the painted stem.
Push a paper fastener through the flower and stem to secure them together.
5. Draw leaves on a piece of green craft foam sheet. Cut out the leaves.
6. Hole punch the leaf twice near the bottom of the leaf. Insert a green straw as shown in the photo.
7. Glue bits of yellow craft foam to the center of each flower for pollen.
Place flowers and leaves in a plastic vase. Display for all to enjoy.
This bouquet is a beautiful gift idea, and a welcome sign of spring!
