In my part of the world, May is the height of spring and flowers are starting to bloom in earnest. A fun and easy way to celebrate the Flower Moon is by making some dried flower artwork. We used flowers that we had pressed last summer for this project, but you could also collect spring flowers that are blooming now and press them under some heavy books for a week or so.
Materials:
- dried pressed flowers
- heavy paper (like watercolor paper or cardstock)
- glue
Method:
Cut out your paper in a circle shape, trace a plate or other round object to help you get a perfect circle.
Arrange the flowers until you like the way they look. Try experimenting with radial symmetry, which mean that there is symmetry around a central axis, as in a starfish or a flower.
Once you are happy without your layout, carefully glue down the flowers.
