Directions
To make personalized spring gifts, ask students to bring one photo each from home or take photos in your classroom.
- Trim your photo into a 2-inch circle. Tape onto the center of a Gumdrop Stars Mini Accent. Tape the accent to the end of a colorful drinking straw (on the flexible end, if it has one) or a chenille stem.
- Cut the paper towel tube to 4½ inches. Center the tube on the back of the Colorful Bouquet and tape in place, flush with the bottom of the accent. This will hold your bouquet upright.
- Punch small holes in the left and right edges of the bouquet accent. String a ribbon through the holes, loop around the back of the accent, and tie the ends in a bow in front.
- Each child writes a message on an index card to wish someone special a happy spring! Parents and grandparents will cherish these gifts.
