Last minute Mother's Day card

If you have a tendency of leaving things to the last minute, this quick and easy card is a very thoughtful way of letting your Mother know that you haven't forgotten about her this coming Sunday!


What you will need…

2 or 3 sizes of coloured tissue paper circles (If no tissue paper you can use magazine or other lightweight paper.)
Tweezers
Craft glue
Regular card folded in half
Acrylic or watercolour paints
 How to…
1. Using your tweezers pick up a tissue paper circle, scrunching it with the tweezers into a puckered flower shape.
2. Dip it into the glue and place, glue side down, onto the card. Once it has stuck, use the tweezers to increase the pucker of the paper if desired.
3. Use the same method to add a smaller paper circle in a contrasting color to the center of the first circle and smush with tweezers. Add as many as three layers.
4. Paint on a stem (can use a felt tip if no paint to hand)
5. Write a personal message inside
