- Green marker
- Glue
- Scissors
Mother’s Day Flowers Craft Step by Step Directions
Start by taking one complete sheet of brown cardstock.
Create a fold down the middle of the brown cardstock.
Next, prepare 3 tissue paper squares, using a different color for each one. Repeat this process 3 times to make 3 flowers.
Transform the tissue paper squares into circles. Exact measurements aren’t necessary, and there’s no required size since they’ll be bunched up later, though a circle measuring approximately 3-4″ should work well.
Once you have 9 tissue paper circles prepared for each card, place 3 small dots of glue on the front of the brown cardstock wherever you want the flowers positioned.
Pinch and gather one tissue paper circle at its center. There isn’t really a more fitting way to describe it—you’ll slightly twist, collect, and bunch the paper. Set the tissue paper onto the glue.
Do the same with each of the 3 flowers.
Afterward, add another dot of glue to the middle of the first tissue paper layer, bunch up a second tissue paper circle, and position it over the top.
Repeat these steps for each of the 3 flowers, adding 3 tissue paper layers to every flower.
Once every flower is complete, draw stems and several leaves with a green marker.
Inside the card, add your cheerful Happy Mother’s Day greeting.
What a lovely Mother’s Day card!

Instructions
- Begin by folding a sheet of brown cardstock in half.
- Cut 3 tissue paper squares next, making each one a different color. Repeat this step 3 times so you have enough for 3 flowers.

- With 9 tissue paper circles prepared for each card, place 3 small glue dots on the front of the brown cardstock in the spots where you want the flowers.
- Gather one tissue paper circle in the middle by twisting and bunching it slightly. Place the gathered paper over one of the glue dots.
- Repeat the process with all 3 flowers.
- Add another glue dot to the center of the first tissue paper layer, bunch up another circle, and place it on top.
- Follow the same process for all 3 flowers, using 3 tissue paper layers on each one.
- After finishing the flowers, use a green marker to add stems and a few leaves.
- Finish by writing your Happy Mother’s Day greeting inside the card.
