Materials:

Small cardboard box (cereal or rice - inside measurement as wide as your napkins)

Several sheets of construction paper or art foam in 2 shades of yellow

2 circles of brown construction paper or art foam 3" in diameter

Dark green paint

foam brush

Scissors

Exacto or craft knife

White craft glue

Optional: Gesso - if your box has writing that can not be covered with one coat of green paint.

Instructions:

Using the picture as your guide, draw a 5" circle centered on each side and touching the bottom of the box. Draw a line from the edge of the circle on the front around the end of the box to the edge of the circle on the back about 3" up from the bottom. Repeat on the other end of the box. Your box will now resemble the picture of the green box. If your cardboard is thin you might want to reinforce the circles with additional circles cut from the excess cardboard and glue them to he circles on the outside of the box.

Paint the entire box both inside and out with green paint and allow to dry.

While the paint is drying cut out the two 3" circles and approximately 15 to 20 Flower petals 2 1/2" long each.

Beginning at the center bottom of the circle on the box, glue the petals overlapping toward the middle and separated where they extend past the circle. Trim some of the petals in the middle of the circle so it is not too bulky. Allow the glue to dry completely.

Glue the brown circles in the middle of your flower petals and set aside to dry. Fill with brown or Orange Napkins and place on the table.

This project can be used again and again with a change of design and colors they should carry you through the whole year.
