Check out these adorable Easter Lilies! They are a simple and cheap craft for Easter made out of construction paper cut to the shape of a hand.



YOU WILL NEED

• construction paper (green for leaves and any colors for flowers)
• drinking straw
• scissors
• pencil
• scotch tape
• OPTIONAL: pipe cleaner and floral tape

DIRECTIONS

1. Have child trace their hand onto a piece of construction paper, rounding out the palm.
   
2. Cut out the hand print.
3. Roll the palm into a cone and tape. Don't worry about the hole being too small, you can snip it open a bit if needed.
4. Cut pipe cleaner into 1/4s and fold into a V shape.
   
5. Push V into end of straw and put a piece of tape around. Curl the ends a little.
6. Put end of straw into flower and push through so the pipe cleaner is inside the flower.
   
7. Wrap each finger around a pencil to curl.
8. Cut a long leaf shape out of green construction paper and tape onto the straw. Two leaves looks best. Curl the leaf like you did the fingers.
9. Place flowers in a vase. An odd number of flowers always seem to look nicer.
