Well, I have to tell you before I get to the recipe, that I absolute hate cantaloupe.
This is what you do.You’re living in a little forest-room made out of dirt.
So, things get dirty.. Oh..So you’re not supposed to try to control the dirt and make everything all sparkly and new looking?It’s worth a shot, this dirt-embracing mentality.
Actually, I could get used to this.And when we got home to that house I’ve been working so hard to make comfortable and liveable?
The one that was going to fall apart if I was away from it?
It miraculously became the cleanest, shiniest, most welcoming place we’ve ever seen, giant piles of laundry in the middle of the kitchen floor and all.You can also mix it up and do the same type of cuts on the non-folded side.. Use a bead of hot glue along the whole length of your strip to keep it folded in half .. Now comes the fun part where it all comes together!
Start rolling your flower up, using hot glue as you go to hold everything together.. Get the Kids Involved.When I made these with kids, I would have them cut their strips and cut their petals, and then I would have them come over to the “gluing station” so they could have me glue their flower for them.
I would just ask them if it looked good to them and if they liked how I was rolling the flower as I went and that way they felt like they were still very much involved in the process.As kids get to be older and a little more confident with crafting, you can let them try out using the hot glue with one of the lower temperature glue guns that you can get.
