| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Pencil
Hair scrunchies Craft foam leaves Craft scissors Hole punch Clay pot Black beans | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: hair scrunchy, hole punch | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | For each blossom, wrap 1 or 2 colorful hair scrunchies around the top of a pencil. Next, cut out a pair of green craft foam leaves, using craft scissors to create a scalloped edge. Lightly etch leaf vein lines in the foam with the tip of a toothpick. Using a hole punch, make a hole in the base of each leaf. |
| 2. |  Then slide the leaves onto the pencil so they rest right
beneath the flower. You can even attach a "silk" butterfly (sold
at craft stores) to the blossom. |
| 3. | Finally, plant the finished flowers in a clay pot filled with dried black beans (if beans fall through the hole in the bottom of the pot, just tape over it). |
