How to Make the Field of Paper Tulips
What you need:
- printable template

Step by Step Tutorial
The Background
Go ahead and grab your paper plate.
Paint the bottom green.
Paint the top of the paper plate blue.
Draw a sun in the corner with yellow acrylic paint.
You can make the sun as dark yellow as you’d like.
To make it even more vivid, you can add a few layers of yellow paint.
Cut out the template.
Trace the white cloud onto white paper.
You will then want to cut out this cloud.
The Tulips
Draw each tulip twice on the color paper.
You can start with pink paper.
Trace the orange tulips.
Continue tracing the red ones.
We’ll need the yellow flowers too.
The Stems
Cut thin strips of green paper for tulip stems.
Trim them a bit.
The Leaves
Trace 16 leaves on green paper.
Draw eyes and mouth with a black marker, then use a pink marker to draw the cheeks.
The final look of the flowers looks perfect!
Go ahead and glue the flower heads on the stems.
Glue the cloud onto the plate.
Glue the flowers on the green part of the paper plate too.
Trim the stems of the flowers.
Glue the leaves on the stems.
Draw a face on the sun!
The final look is a beautiful field of tulips with a smiling sun and a bright cloud.
Isn’t this a perfect craft for spring?
You can display it by hanging the paper plate on a wall or anywhere else.
Have fun!
