Flower and Leaf Crafts

July 3, 2013

20 Flower and Leaves Ideas Summer is such a lovely time of year – finally we get to spend more time outdoors and the trees and flowers around us are in full swing. My kids adore picking flowers (or more like weeds, I don’t let them pick everything) or collecting fallen petals and leaves. We are always careful not to pick flowers that you shouldn’t and I explain to my children that they last longer if you leave them… but still – we come home with the colourful fallen petals, the odd weed (e.g. dandelions) and leaves. So we thought sharing some related flower crafts and leaf crafts would be a nice round up to do for you!

The Flower Craft Ideas and Leaf Craft Ideas Hangout


In chronological order:

1) There is no post associated with my first craft – but just the image shared – Pip Squeak collected some fallen Poppy Flower petals and came home to create her own little dancers, complete with head wear and fans. These won’t keep as we stuck them straight onto the paper. If you wanted a more permanent collage you would need to check out my Flower Pressing post for some top tips first!!

2) Next I share our little leaf tea lights – super simple to make and look wonderful too. Again, check out  Flower Pressing where we made the same but with flowers. Easy peasy.

3) I also talk about our Dandelion Crowns

4) Next Kids Chaos shares her Summer Version of our Andy Goldworthy projects. SUPER PRETTY and love that her son took the photos himself!

5) The Imagination Tree comes up trumps with pretty laminated book marks, suncatchers and adorable crown!! Love them! (no post on website yet, please watch the video for info)

11) Domestic Goddesque gets creative and thank thing teachers with helicopter see greeting cards. Love how they stand out on the black “chalk board” card – from ballerinas to swimmers to flowers….

12) Here Come the Girls makes and adorable flower craft by turning hers into a photo collage – perfect for scrap bookers – but also as thank you notes or in a frame. So pretty.

13) Me and My Shadow has a great idea and method for making your own WATERCOLOURS from flowers. Genius and well worth a look.
