Blooming Marvellous: How To Make Paper Flowers That Bloom In Front Of Your Eyes

When hunting for craft ideas, especially ones to do with your children, sometimes a little bit of magic can go a very long way. Children love the WOW effect, and will be very appreciative of this next craft idea.

The idea for this idea is to create flowers. But these are magic flowers, that you fold up. However when they come into contact with water, they open up magically as if they are blooming. The effect is both clever and fun to watch. What is even better is that this is not a one-time trick, should you wish to do the trick again using the same flower all you need to do is to dry the flower carefully and then it will be good to go again.

I will be totally honest here and admit that I don’t actually know why or how this works, but the fact is that it does. Actually, perhaps you could explain to the kids that this is magic, which may well impress them even further. These flowers are nice and simple to make, and don’t take a great deal of time. The only supplies required are some paper, a pair of scissors, a compass and pencil, and some colouring pencils. Watch the excellent video below and your house will be blooming in no time at all.
