Kids Crafts and Lego Blocks: Make a Bud Vase or Flower Pot Cover for Mother's Day

A Very Simple Lego Block Idea

Lego Blocks are incredibly creative and fun to build with. This useful Mother's Day kid's craft idea is very simple to make. The Lego bud vase or flower pot cover can be used over and over again. It can be displayed just about anywhere, from a dining table, to an office, to a kitchen window sill. It makes the presentation of plant or flowers more colourful and unique.

Supplies needed:

Enough Lego blocks to build a cube to surround the chosen plant or flower holder. The top will be open. You can make a multi coloured one, or pick Mom's favourite colours from the Lego Blocks that are available, and build it out of those colours. You can even make it in colours to match an office, home office , kitchen, bedroom or any other room that the Lego block bud vase or flower pot cover might look nice in. It brightens up any spot in a fun way.

Aluminium foil to keep the moisture from watering the plant contained, to keep it from leaking through.

A container for the flowering plant or loose cut flowers. You can buy one of the six packs of already blooming flowers in disposable pots from a local garden center or store that carries garden plants. If you want to make a larger pot, buy a single plant. You can also make your own using a small milk container. The ones from school lunchrooms, with the top cut off, or a single serving juice carton work perfectly. The nice thing about using the plants instead of cut flowers is that they will last longer. If desired, they can be transferred to the garden at a later date. Baby food jars will work nicely for cut flowers. You Don't have to use the aluminium foil to line the bud vase if you use the baby food or other small jars.

Soil, if you are planting your own plant or seeds. If you buy the flowering plants in the larger single size or the smaller six packs at the garden center, you won't need the soil.

Scissors for cutting apart the six pack of preplanted flowers, if you use that option.

Directions:

Buy and gather the plant supplies and container or containers first. That way you will know approximately how many Lego blocks you will need for the bud vase or flower pot Mother's Day project.
