Mother's Day Vases by Erin R.'s Class

For Mother’s Day we made flower vases. We were just ending a unit on recycling, so what better way to make bases, than out of recyclables. This was a multi-step project. We first had to get messing with some glue and papier-mâché 2 litter plastic bottles. After letting them dry we went back and painted them. We then cut the tops off and inserted a flower. We made the flowers out of tissue paper and pipe cleaners. Everyone also decorated the gift bag the vases went into. All in all it was a lot of hard work, but it was so great to see the end result!
