‘Mothers are like buttons, they hold everything together’ Skip the store bought card and make your own special Mother’s Day card with a personal touch!
What you will need:
• A variety of Buttons
• A4 size colourful card stock paper
• PVA glue
• Scissors
• Green ribbon (for the flower stems)
• Lace ribbon (for card decoration)
Instructions:
1. Begin by folding the piece of card stock in half.
2. Cut a small strip of green ribbon and glue it to the front of the card stock (as the flower stem)
3. Glue a large button above the green stem, leaving a little bit of space for the petals.
4. Glue smaller buttons around the large centre for the petals
5. Glue green buttons next to the green ribbon stems for leaves.
6. Cut a strip of the lace ribbon and glue across the bottom of the card.
7. If you want to add more decoration, glue on some tiny buttons around the page and add your own message at the top, such as: ‘Mothers are like buttons, they hold everything together!’
* Your card is finished! Allow the glue to fully dry, then write your special message inside!
