| You can make a lovely jumble of paper flowers with candy centers for Valentines Day! |
- white glue
- a variety of decorative papers
- chocolate candy kisses and chocolate candy hearts
- green markers and green construction paper for the leaves
- scissors
- patterns for cutting and tracing
Cut these patterns, and trace around them onto red, pink, and white papers. Then paste them together in layers to make the blooms. Glue the blossoms to wooden dowels. Use the green markers to color the dowels and then cut and paste on green paper leaves.

| These little paper flowers with chocolate candy kisses were made from a variety of cut paper designs. Layer one on top of the other and paste them together! |

| The chocolates were pasted to the paper hearts. The stems are made separately from corrugated cardboard hearts and wooden dowels that were glued inside of the ditches of the corrugated shapes. I can slip these Valentines on and off of the stems if I choose, instead of giving away the entire floral stem. |

| Far left, chocolate hearts pasted on Valentines and mounted on 'stems.' Middle, stems for posies before these were painted and the leafs applied. Right, some of the chocolate hearts can be removed from their stems, some of them can be taken along with the stems. |
