Recipe-Note Holder

Materials:
Lid from liquid detergent such as Tide
Craft Stick
Mini Clothes pin
Single flat flower head such as a Daisy or Sunflower
White craft glue (or hot glue sticks and glue gun with adult help)
Small amount of Plaster of Paris
Sandpaper
Paint color of your choice and brush
Optional:
Gravel or small pebbles to fill the lid

Instructions:

The detergent lid will be your 'flower pot' you can use it in the original color or scuff the lid with sandpaper, wipe clean and paint to match your kitchen. Allow paint to dry completely.

Pour Plaster of Paris into lid filling almost to the top. Place the craft stick in the center of the lid and allow the plaster to cure and dry overnight.

When dry glue the mini clothes pin at the top of the craft stick with the bottom of the clothes pin facing up 1/4" below the top edge of the craft stick. Allow to dry.

Glue the flower head at the top of the craft stick on the opposite side from the clothes pin.

Optional:
If you do not want to use Plaster of Paris fit the lid with small pebbles or gravel, place the craft stick then fill the lid with white craft glue or hot glue. This will cement the filler into the lid and give it some weight. Then proceed as above.
