As the snow was falling this morning I came across this web page that had paper daffodils. If I can’t have them in the ground I can make my own until spring gets here. Here is one following the directions at Family Fun:
Then I decided to create one with coffee filters. I used the same basic instructions, but made my circle for the cone 2″ and the square for the petals 3 1/2″. Using a glue stick I glued two coffee filters together, marked the circle, square and leaves with pencil on the coffee filter and cut out. Then I got out my watercolors and had fun painting the blossom and leaves. With Tacky Glue I glued it together on a florist wire. I used a little wade of coffee filter at the top for the stamen. I curled the edges a little with the end of my paint brush. I liked how it turned out, may have to make a bouquet.
