We loved making these flowers as they’re really just layers of circles with a button in the middle. You can’t make a flower any easier. As simple as they are, they’re so pretty, too, especially grouped together in their paper plate garden.

Now put one half aside for another garden. With one half of the plate, fold the two sides in at equal distances from the edge. Make 2 horizontal snips, on top of each other about half an inch apart, on each side.
