WHAT YOU NEED
1 empty 46 oz. or 64 oz. NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE plastic bottle
Craft glue gun or "tacky" glue
Decorative ribbon
1 roll of light blue cellophane
Tissue paper in pastel colors
Pinking shears (available at craft stores)
1 spool of thread
Green pipe cleaner (1 for each flower)
Colorful letter stickers
HOW TO DO IT
Vase
Wash and dry an empty NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE bottle.
Glue decorative ribbons around the base and neck of the bottle.
Spell out "MOM" with colorful letter stickers across the bottle.
Fill the inside with clear blue cellophane to give the appearance of water.
Each Flower
Cut eight pieces of tissue paper into 6 inch squares; use two different colors, four pieces of each.
Gather all eight pieces of tissue paper into one stack. With pinking shears, cut all the edges so you have a zig-zag pattern all around.
Fold the stack accordion-style, making each fold about 1/2 inch in width.
Tie the folded stack in the middle with a piece of thread.
Open up the stack at each end; it will look like a two-sided fan.
Separate each piece of tissue paper, gathering them together. Feel free to crumple up the pieces to give the flowers a fuller effect.
On the bottom side of the finished flower, insert a green pipe cleaner about 2 inches through the thread at the #162er of the flower. Twist the loop of the pipe cleaner to secure. This will be the flower's stem.
Make 2 or three more flowers to finish the bouquet.
Place the finished flowers into the cellophane filled vase and give to Mom on Mother's Day!
TIPS
You can use various different combinations of colored tissue paper to create a variety of flowers.
