Hanging Flower Gardens

Silk flowers can be used over and over again. So instead of letting them collect dust, turn them into stylish and vibrant works of art. As long as you have glue or a hot glue gun, you can add flowers to almost anything.

First, you should collect all your fake flowers whether they are from old flower arrangements, weddings, parties, or bought from consignment shops. Once you have gathered a substantial amount you can offer them to the children, so they can turn them into stunning art pieces.

I am rather lucky; my parents donate most of the flowers used in our projects.

We used Styrofoam blocks, yarn, crepe paper and crinkled paper shreds to create these beautiful hanging gardens.

The children decided to name the project “ Hanging Flower Gardens”.
