How to make this gift for mom: 1. If you've chosen the pansy to color, color it THIS WAY before cutting. Color the un-numbered little circle some bright color you have not used. (It is shown as yellow in the picture) Even if you are not going to use the colored version, if you can print one out to show the areas that are colored the same, it would be a good idea.
2. Cut out the 4 parts 3. Put your name on the back of the piece that says "I Love you" |

4. Put a dot of glue on the number 1 in the circle and both spaces for glue 5. Take piece number 2 - the one with the 2 in the circle - and match the number 2 circle over the number 1 circle. There are small curved dotted lines on the number 1 piece. Bring the edge of the number 2 piece all the way up to the dotted curved line (and over the GLUE space on that side). |
