Step 2

Paint each of these carboard egg box pieces yellow and leave to dry.

Step 3

Find something round to draw around roughly the size that you’d like the Daffodils to be - approximately 10cm is a good size - we’ve used a coaster, but you could use a mug, tin or a plant pot. Cut out the amount of circles that you’d like in your bouquet.

Step 4

Fold the circle in half and then half again giving you a quarter circle. Then cut out come curvy triangles to make the petals - this is the same as making a paper snowflake! Open out the circle.

Step 5

Place a straw centrally on the back of the flower head and then tape in place to secure.

Step 6

Place a glue dot in the centre of the flower, and then press on the egg carton piece to finish the daffodil. Repeat to make the whole bouquet.

Top Tip: If you don’t have any glue dots to hand, PVA or Tacky Glue works just as well!

Once all of Daffodils within the bouquet are complete, they're then ready to displayed in pride of place in your home, or why not gift to a loved one?!
