Mother's Day crafts and a schedule change

Hey all, I'm late with this and I think if there are no objections I'm going to switch my posting date with the Q&A date as I have Achievement/Activity Days every first Tuesday and I just haven't been great at getting my post done before that day.

Which brings me to my post today. Nothing amazingly thought-provoking but I thought I'd share our Mother's Day crafts that we did at Achievement Days last night. They were pretty easy and also turned out well so I thought I'd pass the idea along in case anyone is ever in need of a Mother's Day craft.

Artwork Candles

Supplies needed: 
-Hair dryer
-Dollar store candle
-Tissue paper
-Markers
-Wax paper. 
-Also, a oven glove is pretty handy as your hand gets pretty hot when you are blow drying the design onto the candle


Tissue Paper Flower Corsages


-Pretty tissue paper colors
-Card stock circles
-Pins
-Green Ribbon
-Glue (not pictured, we used craft tacky glue)

The girls had fun making stuff for their moms/grandmas and I loved seeing what they came up with. The only thing is I wish I could have helped them more with the corsages but I was blow drying their candles and they struggled a bit with the twisting and gluing. Also, I would have made the white tissue paper strips less tall as they ended up overhanging the top and bottom a bit on some of the candles.

  2. We made the candles for my mom and mother-in-law, but I think your girls' turned out cuter :) Our tissue paper was so thin we could hardly do anything without it ripping. Thanks for a fun idea!
