Photo Flowers

Here's something cute for your window ledge. Use a circle punch (available at scrapbooking stores or Michael's) to cut little faces from a set of photos. Pick a photo of each family member or from a special trip or event. Cut out about 5 photos of people. Cut another 5 from cardstock or other shots with good pattern or color. Cut rainbow tissue paper into flower petals. Turn over one of the non-people circles and glue a bunch of petals with a thick gob of Mod Podge or other gooey glue. In the center, with a bit more Mod Podge, attach the people circle. Glue or tape to a popsicle stick or thin wood stick. You can also cut smaller green tissue paper leaves and glue on top of petals and under the people circles.

To display your flowers, get a small container, like a tiny terra cotta pot, and fill with Sculpey clay. Add sticks, put in a bright spot and enjoy the sunny photo flowers.
