How to make M&M flowers

 

M&M flowersIf you attended the February Women’s Connection luncheon, you probably saw the table decorations we created to celebrate Valentine’s Day — M&M flowers.

They are easy to make and can be easily adapted for any occasion.

Here are the instructions on how to make them:

Supplies:

  • 1”x8” plastic self-adhesive bags
  • Green M&Ms
  • 3/8” glue dots
  • Colored card stock cut into various 2” and 2 ½” flower shapes (Using a Cricut makes this fast and easy!)
  • Stickers, gems, beads
