For Christmas my parents got our family Family Fun Magazine. It is a wonderful magazine full of wonderful crafts, recipes and ideas for you to do with your family. MANY of the ideas are Penny Pinching friendly. We all love that! Here is our interpretation of the Easter Lily craft.
Here is the Original pictures and directions with our interpretation to follow.
CRAFT MATERIALS:
1. Have your child trace his hand onto a piece of white card stock (regular paper works too but isn’t as durable) and cut out the shape. Cut two double leaves from green card stock and punch holes in the centers where the leaves meet, as shown.
2. Curl the paper fingers and leaves by wrapping them around a pencil.
3. Wrap the hand around the top of a green plastic straw and secure it with tape. Slide the leaves onto the straw and tape them in place. For the flower’s stamen, fold half of a yellow pipe cleaner in half and curl down the ends. Insert the folded end in the straw.

Cut out the hands.
Use a pen or pencil to curl the fingers.
Instead of yellow pipe cleaners we just colored some yellow on the palm of the hand. We also used green drinking straws instead of green pipe cleaners.
Finished product.
We took it one step further and spritzed some body spray on them to make they smell as pretty as they looked.
How sweet is she!? Be sure to write her name and date on them. Be sure to make enough for all the grandparents, aunts, uncles and special people in your life.
