so, we had mother's day tea celebration at fiona's school today. it was so sweet! i will post photos later, but i wanted to post this tutorial before mother's day, just in case your little ones (or yourself!) would like to make some of these cute flowers.
hoy festejaron el día de la madre (que por estos pagos es el domingo) en el cole de fiona, fue una dulzura, pronto pongo fotos. pero hoy quería publicar este tutorial asi, si querés, podés hacer estas flores justo antes del día de la madre.
it is super-easy and fiona had a lot of fun making them. here are the materials:
son super-fáciles y a fiona le encantó hacerlas. estos son los materiales:
- pipe cleaners
- scissors
- beads
- cupcake liners (i have a little collection, since every time i see some on sale, i buy them. i also bought some online. but you can use the plain ones, like i did for the inside of the flowers, and they would still look very cute)
- limpia pipas (uno por flor)
- tijera
- cuentitas de colores
- papeles/moldes de cupcakes o tortitas
make a knot close to one of the edges of the pipe cleaner.
hacé un nudo cerca de una de las puntas del limpia pipas
cut a very small slit in the center of the cupcake liner.
cortá un tajito en el centro del molde de papel.
you can cut the slit on two or three liners at the same time.
podés cortar de a dos o tres papelitos a la vez.
place the pipe cleaner through the slit.
pasá el limpia pipas por el corte en el papel.
do the same with the rest of the liners (we used three more, but you can use as many as you'd like!)
hacé lo mismo con el resto de los papelitos (nosotras usamos tres más, pero vos podés usar la cantidad que quieras, por supuesto!)
insert the pipe cleaner through the bead.
pasá el limpia pipas por el orificio de la cuentita.
fold the tip of the pipe cleaner into the bead. and voilà!
doblá la punta del alambre e insertalo adentro de la abertura de la cuentita. y voilà!
you can display them together
las podés poner en un recipiente todas juntas
or put them in differernt containers.
o las podés poner separadas
hope you like them. if it wasn't completely clear or if you have any questions, please leave me a comment. and if you make them, please let me know! happy mother's day!!!!!
espero que te gusten. si no está del todo claro o si tenés una pregunta, por favor dejame un comentario. y avisame si las hacés, me encantaría verlas! felíz día de la madre!!!
