Art

Create a beautiful garden of recycled flowers using any scrap paper, food packaging, magazines or junk mail you have at home.

You will need:

• Paper or card as a background.
• Collected paper (Newspaper, junk mail, magazines, foodpackaging, receipts etc.)
• PVA glue or a glue stick (Sellotape will do if you don’t have​any glue at home
• Scissors (Remember to ask an adult for help if you need it)

Method:
Cut different sized teardrop shapes out of your collected paper materials. Arrange them on your paper to create the petals for your flower. When you are happy with your arrangement you can stick them down. Create a stem using a long strip of paper or some colourful tape. You could also add a plant pot and leaves. Don’t forget to add the centre of your flower to complete your collage.

Create many flowers to grow a whole garden!

Don't forget to send in your creations so we can admire them to year4@bgfjs.org
