Easter Lilies
White Easter lilies remind us of the Resurrection. They are buried in the ground as bulbs. In springtime they bloom as beautiful, sweet-smelling flowers. This reminds us of how Jesus was laid in the tomb and then came forth on Easter morning.
White construction paper
Pencil or crayon
Scissors
Tape
One yellow and one green pipe cleaner per lily
1. Use your pencil or crayon to trace your hand on the paper. Cut out the shape.
2. Roll the handprint into a cone shape, and tape it along the side.
3. Roll each finger down the side to form the curls of the bloom.
4. Cut a three-inch piece of the yellow pipe cleaner and form it into a U Shape. Curl the ends to form the center of the lily.
5. Wrap one end of the green pipe cleaner around the middle of the yellow pipe cleaner.
6. Place the other end of the green pipe cleaner into the curly end of the lily and pull it thru.
