HELP! I need craft ideas that have something to do with SUNFLOWERS. Please read?
I need to make something for my grandma for mother’s day tomorrow. I know she loves sunflowers. Her kitchen and dinning room are sunflower themed, so I need ideas for a sunflower decoration maybe. She doesn’t use candles (my grandpa is worried she going to start the house on fire) and she doesn’t wear jewelry. Please, if you have any ideas.

I was about to suggest making a sunflower necklace, bracelet, ring…but, no jewelry..
How about getting a cup, and super glewing sun flowers around it? Maybe even on other things..
Does your grandma sew? I made this sunflower pin cushion a while back with my cousins for my grandmas birthday.
You’ll need:
brown felt
yellow felt
Hot glue gun
cotton stuffing
needle and thread
Stuff the brown felt with cotton to make a ball and sew the ends. Cut petals out of the yellow felt and glue them to the sides (we layered ours so there were lots of petals). Then glue a small circle of the brown felt to the bottom to cover up the petal ends. You can also use a small styrofoam cup and cover it with green felt, then put the flower on top so it looks like a stem.
Sorry it’s not a decoration, but I couldn’t think of anything other then making a card covered with paper sunflowers. Hope this helps!
Find a nicely shaped jar or bottle. Wash and dry thoroughly. Tear brown grocery bag or lunch sacks into small,ragged pieces anywhere from 1″ to 2″ around and using a product like Beacon’s Liquid Laminate (available at craft stores) apply all the pieces to the bottle, overlapping a bit as you go to create texture. The Liquid Laminate dries almost instantly and creates a satin finish seal. Once dry, you can rub a small amount of brown acrylic paint over the entire vase to antique it and make it look like leather. Give another thin coat of the liquid and let dry. Tie some raffia or twine around the neck of the vase, leaving some long tails and then glue a silk sunflower over the knot. An added surprise would be to fill the vase with brown-eyed susans ( look like small sunflowers but small enough for a vase) If you can find some large hole wooden beads, string some onto the ends of the raffia tails and hold in place with a loose knot….small details like that make the gift more professional looking.
