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.)"

Very cute idea!
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!
