Paper Daisy Plant Poke

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 bouquet of these daisies. Fill a charming terracotta pot with sand and place the finished daisies in the pot. It makes a nice decoration for a shelf or a window sill.

For this project you will need:

- pattern below for the flower
- white aquarell or watercolor textured cardstock - the stronger the quality the better
- yellow cardstock
- stylus and foam mat
- thin wooden stick or skewer
- green permanent marker
- yellow aquarell or watercolor pencil
- small paint brush and water
- craft glue
- 3-d foam tape pieces
- hot glue gun

Craft Pattern: Daisy and Leaf Template

Instructions for three daisies:

1. For each daisy, print out and trace the flower pattern twice on the white aquarell or watercolor paper.


2. Cut the flowers out and use the stylus to draw a line down the center of each petal.


3. Then take the water color pencil and draw a line along one side of each petal.


4. Then dip the paint brush into water and go over the drawn line to soften it. Use the water to carry the color a little over the petal to enhance the look but do not completely fill it out. Set the flowers aside to dry.

 
5. Then bend each petal a little inward along the line created by the stylus. This will give the petals a little depth.


6. On the back side of 3 petals, place a piece of foam tape in the center and peel away the paper backing of the tape.


7. This is now how the flowers look like.


8. Cut a 1.5 cm circle for each flower and glue to the center.


9. Cut out 6 leaves and also draw a line through each with the stylus. Bend each leaf also a little inward.
10. Color each wooden skewer green with the marker. Then hot glue one flower and 2 leaves to each skewer and you are finished.

These make lovely plant sticks for green plants or create a bunch of them and make a bouquet for a special someone.
