Within a short time, you can make a simple daisy like this to decorate any green plant in your home. Another charming idea is to make a group of these daisies. Fill a charming terracotta pot with sand and stick the finished daisies in the pot for a bouquet. It makes a nice decoration for a shelf or a window sill.

2. Cut the flowers out.
3. Cut 1 circle out of the yellow cardstock to fit the center of the flower.
4. Bend the petals of one of the flowers inward.
5. Glue the circle in the center of that flower.
6. Glue the flower with the bent petals onto the flat flower. Turn the top flower so that all of the petals can be seen.
7. Paint the stick green and let it dry. It dries within a matter of minutes.

9. Take 1 piece of raffia and cut it in half. Then knot the raffia onto stick just underneath the flower.
