Flower Family Tree How-To
1. Download stem templates and blossom clip-art. Print a flower for each relative. Carefully cut out flowers, and write names and birth dates.
2. Print out stem and leaf templates. Place over artist's paper with transfer paper, graphite side down, in between. Trace with a sharp pencil. Using a craft knife, cut out on mat.
3. Play with placement of flowers and stems on art board. Position spouses' flowers close together, with children's flowers sprouting from them. When satisfied with design, brush paste onto backs of flowers and stems, and place on board.
