Step 1

Cut the foam board down to 18" wide x 30" tall [45.7 cm x 76.2 cm] using a straight edge and an X-ACTO® knife.

Step 2

Cut the brown foam down to 12" wide x 6" tall [30.5 cm x 15.2 cm] and glue along the bottom of the board for "soil".

Step 3

Create your "parts of a flower" layout by starting with the flower shape. Glue it into place.

Step 4

Glue a green chenille pipe cleaner from the bottom of the flower to the soil.
TIP: Cut it down if necessary.

Step 5

Now, using the adhesive backed foam, cut out a sun with rays, a cloud, water drops and leaves.
TIP: Simply draw your shape on the back of the foam and cut out, peel and stick.

Step 6

Use foam letters to spell out each flower part. Peel and stick into place.
TIP: Use the image as your guide.

Step 7

Use a black Sharpie® marker to draw roots from the bottom of the stem onto the brown foam/soil.
