Sunflower Vase Craft Idea For Kids To Make This Fall!

Today’s Sunflowers In A Boot kid craft idea is something that is a “first seen here” on Glued To My Crafts.

Literally, never before seen and something I designed from a tiny doodle in my notebook last week and then it came together today. So if you see a tutorial like this somewhere else, beyond September 14th 2020, you know who inspired it first – HA! 😉 On that note – be sure to either bookmark this very post or pin it on Pinterest right now, so you don’t miss out on the fun, when everyone else is making it too!

It’s got blossoming flowers as the focal point and the price tag I like. We are taking ordinary craft materials such as inexpensive popsicle sticks and cardstock paper, that we later turn into extraordinary within minutes. Just how we like it on our craft website! Something different but still super easy, even for the littlest crafters to achieve with a little help from mom & dad!

To recreate this unique paper flower craft idea with your child today, all you need is our free red boot printable {found below} jumbo popsicle sticks, a green paint crayon, glue and large flower embellishments. That’s it!

This “boot vase” idea can be recreated ANY time of the year and/or season but I decided to use some large felt sunflower stickers I recently picked up from Hobby Lobby, for a more simple fall theme {also inspired by our current home in Nebraska!} You can however change up the colors and go with pastel shades for spring or use rich, deep tones of orange & brown for fall. The nice thing is it’s completely up to YOU on how you spin it!

Anyways – enough chit chat from me! I’ll let you get to it. Everything you need to know, can be found below in the full Paper Flower Vase tutorial, along with the free printable to get you started even faster. I really do hope you are inspired to recreate it {right along side} with your child today! There are TWO boots in the printable so it’s the perfect excuse to join in!

Happy crafting and blossoming those creative juices! Don’t forget to share pictures of your unique paper and popsicle stick boot flowerpot vase on our Facebook page to admire from afar! #gluedtomycrafts

ANOTHER FUN FALL CRAFT IDEA —> PAPER PLATE PUMPKIN ICE CREAM CONE

Craft Supplies:

Free Red Boot Design Printable {Grab The Free File on Box.com}
White Cardstock Paper
Color Printer
Craft Scissors
Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
Green Paint Crayon or Marker
School Glue
THREE Large Flower Stickers {Hobby Lobby}

The Directions:

First things first – grab our provided boot printable, listed above in the supply list. This will give you TWO red boot cutouts.
Next, go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print out the file on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need ONE printable to make TWO boot flower pot crafts at once. Print as many as you like but only use our file for personal use please.
Now that you have the printable, go ahead and trim out one of the boot shapes from it.
Set aside the remaining paper/extra vase shape to repeat the craft later on.
Now grab your three jumbo popsicle sticks and green paint crayon.
Paint one side of each craft stick completely green.
Allow the paint to dry completely on them. It should only take a few minutes.
Now grab your school glue.
Make sure you have a good working area where you won’t be moving your craft anytime soon.
Start gluing your three painted popsicle sticks, one on top of each other, in a “w” shape formation, just like a flower bouquet.
Follow that up by gluing the boot cutout onto the popsicle stick shape you just made.
Now the LAST STEP. Glue down the flowers, one on each exposed popsicle stick tip, to create your flower bouquet.
Add any other embellishments you see fit.
Then allow your boot flower vase craft to DRY COMPLETELY before you display your paper piece proudly for all to see!
Keep the craft fun going with our —> Handprint Flower Cards

Customize It:

Please don’t feel limited by my color choices and/or materials. You can experiment with different supplies such as cardstock paper scraps, flower paper punches, your Cricut machine etc. Depending on the size of your child’s hands, you could also do paper handprint cutouts instead! This craft ALSO WORKS WITH REGULAR SIZED POPSICLE STICKS!
On that note, if you are looking to make your craft a little bit more sturdy, you can glue the final piece to another large sheet of construction paper and then display it that way.
