~Bloom Where You Are Planted~ Arnold Grummer's June's Design Team Project

~Bloom Where You Are Planted~

This very fun project using Arnold Grummer's Paper Making Kit is something creative,unique and so easy that even kids would love to participate in its creation! The whole idea came about because I wanted to be able to have a project that could serve a dual purpose~ creativity and beauty in the garden. This project is created using collage paper but most importantly the centers of the flowers are made by using Arnold Grummer's handmade paper making kit to create the handmade papers. The circles of handmade papers are where the flower seeds will be glued down. When planting times comes,the circles can be removed and planted right in the ground for lovely flowers to enjoy during the summer!

Glue handmade paper circles lightly with Matte Mod Podge( be careful to only glue down enough to secure both underneath and over the seeds ,as the watering in the garden will be breaking down the glue so you don't want more than is necessary) Add seeds onto the glued circles and gently press down to secure.

Then using highlighters outline the collage papers and with a pit pen,outline the words.
