A gift your Mother will Love

This project makes a great gift for Mother's Day or maybe you need to make something for your Gran's Birthday.  Most of the time on my mother's birthday, I buy her flowers.  But I decided this year I would make her a flower that wouldn't die.  With the hope that she would love it enough to hang on her wall.  A bit like the art on the fridge when I was little.

Lay them on the frame first and arrange them in the way that you want them to look before you get out your glue gun!  

Then glue the pistachio chain first for the stem, next add your leaves and your flowers.
