How to Make Paper Easter Lilies

So Easter is fast approaching and you need a quick and easy art project for the bulletin board............give these paper lilies a try.


The lily is made from the traced hand of the student.

These were made by Grade 1.

MATERIALS REQUIRED:

- white paper

- green paper

- large piece of pastel colored paper

- scissors

- pencil

- glue

- yellow tissue paper, (optional)

PROCEDURE:

Take your large piece of colored paper and trace out an egg shape.  With Grade 1 we had templates.  Cut out the egg shape.  This design is actually inspired by some Pysanky eggs we were admiring.

On the white paper trace around your hand 3 separate times.

Cut the hand shapes out.

Roll each hand shape into a cone and tack with glue.

With the pencil curl the edges of each finger or petal.

Cut leaves and stems out of the green paper.  Glue into place on the egg and then glue the lilies on.

If you want you can add yellow centers or stamens to your lily.  Cut the tissue paper into strips and twist.

Add a dab of glue........

and stick into the center of the lily.

That's it.

Only one more week of school till Easter vacation!

See you next time.
