I absolutely love this adorable hand flower craft. I got the idea from my child’s daycare teacher. I received this as a Mother’s Day gift from my toddler child.
I treasure it and I keep it framed on my nightstand. I knew that I had to share this keepsake craft with you.
This makes a perfect keepsake Mother’s Day gift. I have also used it for birthdays and grandparents’ day.
I have included the flowerpot pattern I used. To print it (for free) see the link below.
