Mother's Day Craft


Here's what we did for Mother's Day. I made a single one for each child in primary to give to their moms and we also gave a bunch of flowers to each grandma. It was a fun and simple craft and several people have been asking how I made them so here you go.


Each flower was made by sticking one gummy bear onto a black coffee stirrer straw ( I found them in Wal-Mart next to the paper plates and ziplock bags). Then slide on the fudge-striped cookie, followed by another gummy bear. I cut out 2 leaves that were connected to each other, made a slit in the middle and slid the straw through it. I wrapped each cookie up in a sandwich bag (the fold type) and tied it with ribbon. I poked about 8 holes into an upside-down styrofoam cup and slid them into it. And that's it! The tag could read, "Here's a bundle of flowers for a 'beary' special mom (grandma, person, etc.)"

so cute, but I'm amazed you made those for all your primary kids??!!! Maybe you don't have 100 primary kids like my ward does?

Yes, I made over 100 flowers and it took forever! But it was worth it to see all the moms so happy!
