Being a Mum is like flying a kite, you never know which way it is going to turn, it can turn really fast and end up crashing. Or it can just float happily and peacefully in one place, or simply sway from side to side

Very Easy Paper Flowers

These are great little flowers to stick on the wall, you can put a bunch together and they look great.
Plus they are extremely easy, you can make one in no time, so a bunch of them wouldn’t take you long at all.

What you will need:

- Paper plates - I used white ones, but if you can get coloured ones that would look great too.
- Large Cake cups - coloured ones
- Small Cake cups - coloured ones
- Paddle pop stick (just any kind of wooden stick that you can find)
- Sticky tape or Glue
- Scissors

Here is what you will need to do to put them together:

- Cut the paper plates to the shape that you want.

- Flatten or scrunch, depending on the look that you are trying to get, a large cake cup and stick it to the paper plate, either with glue or rolled up sticky tape. I doubled over the sticky tape and stuck it in the middle so that you can’t see it.

- Do the same again, but this time with the small cake cup, and stick it on top of the large cake cup.

- Now stick the wooden stick to the back for the stem, or you can leave off the stick and just stick them to the wall in a bunch, to make a flower arrangement.


- There are so many shapes that you can cut your plates, and so make ways you can stick on your cake pans, just play and enjoy making them how you like.
