Handprint Lilies

April showers bring May flowers! Follow the steps below and create your own lily.

What you need: 

• 1 piece of construction paper

• 2, 6-inch pipe cleaners (1 yellow and 1 green)

• 1 pair of scissors 

• 1 piece of clear tape 

• 1 round pencil 

Instructions: 

1. Trace your hand onto a piece of construction paper, the color of your chosing.

2. Carefully cut out the hand shape. 

3. Curl the bottom of the hand into a cone shape, leaving a small hole in the bottom. The hole should fit the pipe cleaner tightly.

4. Place a piece of tape to hold the cone together. 

5. Use a pencil to curl the fingers of the hand outside of the cone, creating the petals. 

6. Put the green pipe cleaner through the hole and create a small “J shape” at the top of it.

7. Bend the yellow pipe cleaner and half and hook the fold through the green pipe cleaners. Tightly close the “J shape” so the yellow pipe cleaner stays connected to it. 

8. Take one half of the yellow pipe cleaner and wrap it around the other half. 

9. Repeat these steps to create a small bouquet.

10. Gift your bouquet to someone special or place it in a vase and display them on your desk or dining room table.
