How to pot faux daffodils for your American Girl Dolls

I used two decorative laces combined to craft
the small, pretend daffodils seen below.

       Once you acquire the laces for these lovely Springtime flowers, they will be easy to assemble! Because hot glue is used to craft them, you may need adult supervision while making the craft, depending upon your age. Although, I'm an adult and still burn my fingertips from time to time while making stuff...

Supply List:

• a small, decorative pot made of any material, 2 to 3 inches in diameter
• foam block to stick the flowers inside of the pot
• skewers or toothpicks
• lace daisy chain
• yellow lace trim (see photo)
• green acrylic paint(s)
• green craft paper
• white school glue
• hot glue gun and hot glue
• Styrofoam beads for flower centers

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cut and glue foam to fit inside of the container you have chosen to display the crafted daffodils in.
2. Paint the foam dark green or brown or the color of the container.
3. Measure and cut skewers to the length you wish your flowers to be. 
4. Paint the skewers dark green.
5. Cut out the lace flowers and mount these to the tops of the skewer stems using hot glue.
6. Clip and roll the yellow lace around itself and then hot glue it to the top of each lace flower in the centers. 
7. Glue a darker yellow foam bead in the center of each flower using white school glue.
8. Cut long leaves from green paper and glue them onto the skewers approximately 1/4 inch from the bottom of each skewer stem. 
9. Poke the daffodils into the foam at the bottom of the pot or cluster them together inside of a vase for your dollhouse.

Left, the size of my decorative pot is just right for an American Girl Doll to use on her patio or
inside of her dollhouse. Right, see the faux daffodils from above; these are glued to a wooden
skewer and then 'planted' or poked inside of a block of foam to hold these upright inside of
the decorative container. These may be removed and put inside of a vase alternatively.
