A Nice Spring Present
March 20, 2008

Rather than buying something for Grandma’s birthday, my husband and 5 year-old made her a present.
All you need is an egg carton, paint, pipe cleaners, glue and something to arrange the flowers in. Dad had to cut the carton (too hard for safety scissors) and the glue gun but my daughter did the rest: painting, twisting the pipe cleaner for the flower base and arranging the flowers in a bucket or pot (with a floral frog). It was a fun project to do, especially since she was stuck at home with the flu and cost us next to nothing.
What inspired Dad and daughter to make something? How about this cool viper made from recycled keyboard pieces!

I know these pieces are worlds apart in skill and materials but you got to start somewhere.

Oh, that’s so pretty. I’d be happy to get those flowers for mother’s day, instead of the ones bought from some random drug store.
