Directions

Recognize and applaud your mom with this creative card that's also a delightful decoration.

• Write a special message on the front of a bucket accent to let Mom know what she means to you. Be mindful of where the bucket “opens” so you don’t write on the die-cut area.
• Cut 3 strips out of the green trimmer for the stem and leaves. Fold the leaves and staple the ends together to make nice fluffy greenery.
• Open the bucket on the die-cut line below the handle. Tuck the leaves and the stem into the opening of the bucket and glue or tape in place on back.
• Cut 3 longer strips of trimmers for the petals of the flower. Staple the ends of each together to make three loops. Arrange the loops in a circle by overlapping the centers. Staple or tape them together in the center.
• Write, “My mom is…” on a small circle accent and tape or glue it to the center of your flower.
• Think of all the ways your mom is wonderful. Use that admiration as inspiration to decorate your flower petals. Use colorful letter stickers to write descriptive words.
• Decorate your whole craft with a variety of stickers that are just as fun, silly, and sweet as Mom!

This better-than-store-bought gift will forever bloom as a treasured keepsake. It's also priceless practice for young kids to learn how to fill everyone's buckets with praise.
