Looking for a homemade Mother’s Day craft your kids will love making? These 3D paper flowers are simple, budget-friendly, and turn into the sweetest keepsake. Whether Dad is helping out or your child wants to give it a go solo, the finished picture is one Mum will want to keep forever.
What makes this craft extra special is the personalised touch of your child’s own handprint “holding” the bouquet of flowers. It’s a lovely way to capture how little their hand is right now, and it makes a gorgeous card or framed keepsake for Mother’s Day. Best of all, you’ll probably have everything you need at home already.

Homemade Mother’s Day Craft: 3D Flower Bouquet
You Will Need
- White paper
- Green paper
- Pink paper
- Blue card
- Some buttons
- Glue
Method
- Cut circles out of white paper, then take each circle and cut petals into it.
- Bend the petals gently outwards to create the 3D effect.
- Next, cut out stems and leaves from the green paper.
- Trace the outline of your child’s hand onto the pink paper and cut out the hand shape.
- Now you’re ready to assemble your picture.
- Stick the main part of the hand at the bottom left of the picture, taking care not to glue the fingers down.
- Overlay your stems and glue them onto the hand, then gently bend back the fingers and glue them over the stems so it looks like the hand is holding the bouquet.
- Finally, stick your white flowers onto the tops of the stems and glue a button into the middle of each one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age group is this craft suitable for?
This is a lovely craft for preschoolers up to early primary school age. Younger children may need help with the cutting, while older kids can usually manage most of the steps themselves with a little guidance.
Can I swap the colours or materials?
Absolutely. This craft works with whatever paper or card you have on hand — try different flower colours, patterned paper for the stems, or sequins instead of buttons for the flower centres.
How do I get a good handprint shape?
Ask your child to spread their fingers gently while you trace around their hand with a pencil, then cut just outside the line so the shape is easy to fold and glue.
Can this be turned into a card?
Yes — simply mount the finished picture onto a folded piece of card or blue card as the background, and it doubles as a homemade Mother’s Day card.
