I should start by saying that full credit for the initial idea for these plants goes to www.appleofmydiy.com
You will need:
Coloured card (preferably green)
Pipe cleaners
Scissors (straight and edging scissors)
Blu tack
Polystyrene
Cups
Gravel
Glue
Most of our things have come from this:
Instructions
1. Draw circles onto the card and add leaf style markings.
2. Cut out the circles. Cut a slit to the centre, roll them round slightly and glue into a cone.
3. Using blu-tack fix the leaf cone to the top of a pipe cleaner (you may need to pierce the leaf slightly).
4. Cut out circles of polystyrene to fit into the cup (we used old packaging and a craft knife to shape - it doesn't need to be particularly neat).
5. Push the pipe cleaner into the polystyrene.
6. Repeat - we also used different coloured card and edging scissors to make a flower.
7. Top with gravel.
