This is it! A craft tulip that is nice enough for adults and easy enough for children. It is perfect for an Easter or Mother's Day gift.

Materials:
1 cup of a styrofoam egg carton
Green construction paper
Moderately stiff floral wire. Cut one at 7" and 2 at 5" pieces.
floral tape
yarn
Elmer's Glue.

Method:
1) Start by cutting your egg cup into a flower shape.
2) Make a hook with the end of your floral wire and instert 4 pieces of 2" yarn.
3) Twist the wire around the yarn as shown.










You can see the sharp edge on the wire. Try to trim this or warn parents that there is a sharp edge. I had very stiff wire and had to do this step for the parents.



























4) Insert wire through the egg cup flower. Use the floral tape to wrap the wire stem to the end. TIP: Floral tape sticks best when stretched.


5) Make leaves. Follow the outline of the leaf and make 4 identical leaves for each flower.





































6) Assemble your leaves. Use Elmer's Glue-All to cover the inside of a pair of leaf shapes and glue them together with about 2 inches of wire hanging out like a stem. Wrap your stem with floral tape and repeat to make the second leaf.
7) Use floral tape to wrap your leaves and stem together up to the level of the top of the leaves.
8) Shape your leaves as desired.
