Make some petal art
Spring brings a fresh breeze, where petals settle on cars, walls and on the ground. Look for them when you're out and about, scoop them up and try making some of your own petal art.
What you will need
You'll need the following items:
- Petals
- Baking parchment or paper towels
- Wet mud or PVA glue
1. Collect petals
Collect a variety of pretty blossom petals (please only choose ones that have fallen, instead of picking them from trees).
2. Dry your petals
Dry your petals as soon as you can to avoid them shrivelling and turning brown. Lay them flat on a sheet of baking parchment or a paper towel and place them near a window for 2 weeks.
You can ask an adult to dry them quickly in the microwave or oven for you.
3. Gluing
Use wet mud or PVA glue (or very gently use a glue stick) to paint one side of each petal with glue and stick down as you go.
4. Stick the petals
Stick the petals down in circles or layers to create an artistic effect. You could even use paint to complete your petal art.
