Mother's Day Pillow Craft

By Evonne Umbel- South Hills Macaroni Kid Editor May 8, 2012

This is a project my kids did a few years ago for their grandmas for Mother's Day.  If you have more than one child, you could have them each make a handprint on one pillow to make a bouquet, or they can each make their own pillow.


What you need:

 

1 White washcloth

1 Washcloth of your color choice (except white)

Acrylic paint for flowers

Green fabric paint

Glue - tacky glue or a hot glue gun work best

Stuffing

 

What you do:


Paint your child's hand with the acrylic paint and have them make a handprint on the white washcloth.

 

Using the green fabric paint, draw a stem and leaves below the handprint.

 

When the paint is dry, glue 3 sides of the washcloths together. When the glue is dry, stuff your pillow and glue the final edge closed.
