HOW TO – Mother’s Day Celery Rose Print Card

As regular readers will know, I love crafting with the girls. I also love gifts with sentiment, and would much rather receive a personalised or home made gift than an expensive item with no thought behind it. As a result, when it comes to planning gifts and cards for our friends and family, I always love to get the girls involved with something handmade.

With Mother’s Day around the corner, I decided to be a little unorthodox and help Erin make a Celery Rose Mother’s Day Card – a super quick yet incredibly effective way to create a personalised card in minutes! As for watching her make my own card – it’s not totally strange, as we also made one for Nanny and her Godmother too! 🙂

These Celery Rose Print cards are super easy to make and the finished effect is really great! They look just like little red roses, and cost far less to make than a shop bought card. They are also so much more personal and Erin absolutely loved making them.

To make your own celery rose card, you will need:

• A bunch of celery (cost around 70p)
• Red Paint
• Paper or Card

Simply chop the bottom end off the bunch of celery, leaving a bulb big enough for your little one to hold. You will notice immediately that the end looks incredibly like a rose – it really is this simple! 🙂

Dip the celery in to the red paint and stamp away! 🙂

We created a fun celery rose bouquet type design and Erin had lots of fun in the process! 🙂 What do you think?

Have fun!
