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:

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

• Water bottles
• Scissors
• Fabric Paint – it’s much thicker than washable paint, so it works better here…but, be careful with clothes. 🙂 * Check out this DIY smock for protecting clothes. 
• paint brushes
• Yellow pom-poms – about 1/2 inch wide
• Warm glue gun with glue sticks or fabri-tac glue
• green straws
• green construction paper

Now, on to the fun:

• Cut the ends off of the water bottles and dry 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!
