Materials:
* drinking straws (pick the ones with flexible necks, if available)
* cupcake liners in assorted colors
* photos featuring your kids
* green construction paper
* scissors
* glue
* paint
* glitter
* markers or other decorating items of your choice
* colored vase or short glass
Cut a photo sized to match the circle portion of a cupcake liner and glue the photo inside the liner so that the sides of the liner become the outside of the flower. You can create one flower, or you can make several showing different children or scenes. Glue a straw to the back of the cupcake liner. (For straws with flexible necks, put the bendable end closer to the flower for easy positioning.) Create a couple of leaves from green paper and glue them to the straw below the flower. Arrange the flowers in a vase or other container you have chosen. (You can trim the ends of the straw to fit.)
