Instructions:

1. Cut out the Pieces:  Using the flower bag_template.pdf cut the flower pot out of Pacon® Green Construction Paper and for each of the three flowers cut out three 2-1/2" circles from contrasting colors of Spectra® Deluxe Art Tissue™.

2. Creating your Mosaic Flowers: Take three of the cut circles and lay them flat on top of each other. Use a small dab of glue in the center between each of the three pieces to hold them together. Using an eye dropper or just your finger drop water on the tissue and watch the different colored layers blend together. Repeat this for each flower. Set aside to dry. After they’re dry, crumple the tissue and separate layers to "fluff" your flower. Repeat this step for each flower.


3. Assemble your Gift Bag:  Glue the green flower pot to the bottom of your White Rainbow® Bag leaving a small opening at the top so the flower stems can be inserted. To create the flower stems take three 6" Green Chenille Stems and twist each one around a pencil. Glue each of the stems under the flower pot and then to the rest of the bag--making sure each stem is separated enough so the flowers can be added at the top. Glue each flower to the top of the stems and your bag is complete!
