I will try to remember and explain an easy colored paper flower.

Use good paper -fadeless colored paper like Riverside Tru-Ray or the
fadeless paper that is a different color on each side.

Students trace their hands and write a message or color a design on
one side. (If it needs to be larger than a child's hand then I would
ask one child to trace and the enlarge on a copy machine and copy a
pattern to be traced)

Cut out the hands, roll and scrunch the "wrist" tight. Can roll
around, scrunch and tape (or twist tie) to a toothpick, stick, or a
Popsicle stick.

Put Styrofoam block of ball or a green flower foam into the vase and
press in a mass of the hands. From a few steps away it looks like a
generous vase of flowers.

I have used this for a flower gift of messages to someone who retires
or for a celebration.

I was asked today to come up with some ideas for 3-D flowers to go
into very large pots inside an elementary school. They want all the
kids to make the flowers and stick them into the pots.
Any patterns or ideas on how to make these "flowers" would be helpful!
