First, take 2 cardboard tubes and flatten.

Measure and cut them into 1cm slices, and arrange the pieces into a 3 petal flower, a 5 petal flower and a butterfly shape.

Stick the pieces together using a glue gun.

Step 2

Next, cut open a cardboard tube and use the template to cut out 2 flower shaped pieces, the body and wings for the bee, and some leaves. Cut slits along each segment of the flower, and bend into shape.

Then stick the pieces together with a glue gun.

Step 3

Paint the flowers, leaves, butterfly and bee and leave them to dry before applying a second coat of paint.

Step 4

Cut and stick some pipe cleaner antennae to the butterfly, and small wiggle eyes to the bee.

Step 5

Now glue the garden sticks to the back of each, and add the finishing touches to the flowers with small pom poms.
