Step-10

If you don't have a hairband you could make a strip from craft foam and fit it to the head before gluing flowers to that.

Step-11

For the Mother's Day card, arrange the flowers onto the card to resemble a bunch.

Step-14

Remove the flowers and place green craft foam onto the card. Mark out stems to line up with the flowers and cut out. Glue the stems in place then add the flowers back to the card. Rub out any visible pencil marks.
