Easy-peasy button flower stamps

We've been inspired by the blossom and spring flowers bursting into bloom lately, and to paint some pretty flowers of our own we came up with these simply button stamps.

Great for decorating cards (Mother's Day, Easter, Birthdays or just because!); gift tags and wrapping paper.

Glue your buttons onto an old cork to make them easier for little hands to grasp. You'll need flat buttons (without a ridge around the edge or you won't get the central holes to show - or try flipping them over onto their backs).

I made some stamp pads by squeezing some poster paint onto a dish washing sponge.

And that's it, stamp away to your heart's content.  The circles lend themselves really well to flower petals, and it's a simple pattern for children to master.
