Supplies You’ll Need
- Colored cardstock
- White cardstock (for the background)
- Glue stick
- Marker or pencil
- Scissors
- Paint
- Paintbrush
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Trace and cut your vase
Use a marker or pencil to draw the shape of a vase on your colored cardstock. Cut it out carefully with scissors. This will be the base of your artwork.
2. Glue the vase to the background
Using a glue stick, attach the vase cutout to the center of your white cardstock sheet.
3. Paint the flower stems
Dip your paintbrush in green paint and draw stems starting from inside the vase, extending upward. These will be the base for your flowers.
4. Make your flower stamp
Take a small piece of cardstock, roll it into a tight loop, and secure the edge. This will act as a flower petal stamp.
5. Stamp your petals
Dip the edge of the rolled cardstock into your paint, then press it around the tops of each stem to create colorful flower petals.
Celebrate Spring with Creativity
Once your paint is dry, display your flower vase art on the fridge, in the classroom, or as a handmade gift. Kids will love the stamping technique, and you’ll love how easy it is to clean up.
Spring is here! Make this DIY flower vase craft for a fun, creative touch.
