Take your pencil and trace your hand (or your child’s hand). If you are making more than one flower, you can trace your hand more than one time.

Cut out your hands.

Decorate your flowers using whatever designs and patterns bring you joy. I have used markers to decorate my flowers, but you can use whatever you want. Have fun making your flower pretty!

It’s time to start making your stem. First, get your 8.5” x 2” green construction paper. Place some glue on the paper.

Now, you will place your barbecue stick at one corner of your construction paper and begin carefully rolling that corner diagonally upward. You should notice that a long tube shape is starting to form.

Your stem should look like a long, thin tube-like object when you have finished rolling your paper around the barbecue stick.

Draw two small leaves onto your other piece of green construction paper and then cut these out.

Attach your leaves to your stem using glue.

Now, glue your stem to the back of your decorated hand flower. I have used craft glue on mine, which worked great. A hot glue gun would also work.

Enjoy your beautiful hand flower and repeat the steps if you want to make more!
