“God could not be every where so He made Mothers.” Without mothers where would we be. To our mother we owe so much, that a hundred lives more will be too less to repay them. So this Mother’s Day why don’t we make a pressed flower card to show or love and gratitude to our mothers. Though making a pressed flower card may be a small thing, compared to her greatness. But sometimes small things can go a long way. So lets start with making our Mother’s day card with pressed flowers. But before we begin we will be needing some supplies.

• A card board
• A pair of scissors
• Glue
• Colored pens or pencils and
• Beautiful flowers with rich and vibrant colors.

To begin with the card making process, you need to pick flowers that will retain their rich colors. Violets and roses will be perfect. Next, you will have to dry press your flowers. For this purpose get hold of a thick book like a phone directory or a dictionary. Then wrap the flowers you will be pressing with a blotting paper and place them inside the book. Closing the book shut, leave it for two weeks. When the two weeks of drying time is over, open the book and gently peel off the flowers. The next step will be to cut out some part of the cardboard in the shape and size of a normal greeting card. Once the card is ready, cover it nicely with some colored paper that will compliment the color of your flowers. Then you may add flowers to your card. For this apply some glue to the back of the flowers and press it against the front surface of the card. Continue attaching flowers to the card until you get the design you want. When you card is ready with flower leave it for sometime to for the glue to dry. To prevent your flowers from falling off you may cover the card with a sheet of cellophane paper.

Now that your Mother’s day pressed flower card is ready, finish it off with a message for your mother on the inside. For this you can use the colored pens.

Communion Day focuses on the sacrificial nature of Lord Christ for the humanity all over the world. The nature of Christ of saving the world from all the sins and preaching good deeds to all the people is what honored on this day. People celebrate this day very merrily. It marks a festive occasion and that everyone wears their special clothing on this day. But people often wear that is white in color; it is because they signify purity. Girls often wear fancy dresses with a veil attached to the headdress with white gloves. They often wear Head wreaths in their clothing. Here we are making a Head Wreath for Communion Day. Give it a try and see how good it looks.
The instruction of making the head wreath is as follows:

Step 1: First of all take the measurement of the head of the person for whom you are making the head wreath. Now you cut the floral wire into two pieces of about 6” long than the circumference of the head. Twist them together.

Step 2: Now you cover this twisted wire with some greenery of your choice. You can take ivy for that. Take two pieces of ivy to get a fuller appearance. For making a hook and eye for the connection of the ends leave about 3 inches of wire exposed from the either ends of the wire.

Step 3: You wrap the ivy with floral tape to secure it properly. But ensure you do not tape the leaves. You make a hook at one end of wire and a loop with the other. Now twist the whole wire into a ring connecting the hook and lop so that it can fit on the head properly.

Step 4: Now you add flowers on the wreath. Prefer some white flowers for the wreath. Start with attaching the first flower at the center of the wreath with floral tape. You now place another bloom on either side of the wreath’s center. Go on adding the flowers until you feel the wreath is full enough. You can also use baby’s breath between the flowers to give a traditional look.
