Just in time for Mother’s Day. These water bottle flowers are so darn cute. I love simple crafts, and I especially love ones that don’t involve going to the store for supplies. I bet you have most or all of the supplies for this one, right at home. Come on in, and I’ll show you how to make these simple water bottle flowers:

• Egg Carton Flower Craft 
• Bouquet of Sunflowers Handprint Craft 

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• Water bottles
• Scissors
• Fabric Paint or Washable Kid’s Paint (Like Crayola)
• paintbrushes – I like to use the sponge brushes
• Yellow pom-poms – about 1/2 inch wide
• low-temperature glue gun with glue sticks or fabri-tac glue
• green straws – try to find the ones with flexible ones
• green construction paper

Here’s a quick video to show you how to make this Water Bottle Craft…

Now, on to the fun:

• Cut the ends off of the water bottles and dry them completely
• Paint the inside of the bottle ends and let dry
• Cut some little leaf shapes out of the green paper

• Trim your straws to the desired length and glue to the back of the bottle end – I put a dot of glue at the bump (technical term) 🙂
• Turn the bottle end around and use glue to add the yellow pom-pom to the indention (middle) of the bottle bottom and leaves to the straws

• You are done, my friend!
