Crafty Kids: How to Make a Flower Centerpiece Craft

Daughter: "Mommy, I wish we had flowers for the table."

Me: "Why don't you make us some flowers?"

And within a few minutes we had the cutest flower centerpiece craft completed -- and our table was ready for our family dinner!

Tools and Supplies:

  • Construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Scotch tape (or glue stick - depending on how long until dinner is served and if the glue has time to dry)
  • Pencil

How to Make a Flower Centerpiece Craft

Gather your tools and supplies.

Tape two pieces of brown construction paper together.

Turn the paper over and start making and taping on flowers. Let the kids either draw the flowers that you cut out. Or let them cut out their own flower shapes.  My daughter figured this out all on her own.

Roll the paper into a cylinder and balance it in the center of the table (we put a vase in the center to support it).
