Birthday Flowers

Other Supplies: Black and white smooth cardstock, glue.

1. For each flower die-cut three sets of the large petals on the Poppy die together with one of the leaves.
2. Gently curl the three sets of petals and layer them together to form the flower. Adhere each layer to the other using glue.
3. Die-cut enough white circles (1⅝”) for each child in the class together with the same amount of black scalloped circles.
4. Mount the white circles onto the black scalloped circles and hand them out to the children to write their names.
5. Mount the circles into the centre of each flower using a piece of foam adhesive sheet to provide a little dimension.
6. Die-cut 12 plant pots using the 2⅝” square die and use a craft knife or guillotine to cut the green stalks to the lengths required.
7. Die-cut the initial letters for each month and attach them to the face of each plant pot before adhering the stalks to the rear and mounting the individual flowers.
8. Attach a die-cut leaf to the rear of each flower at this point using glue and mount the individual flowers onto the wall in chronological order.
9. Die-cut the letters to make up the words ‘OUR CLASS BIRTHDAYS’ and mount them onto card. Trim to size and matt onto card of a different colour. Place the sign above the flowers.
