Pansies for Mom - By Yvonne @ Edmonton Store

You will need:

1. 8 x 10 white shopping bag
2. Tissue paper colours of your choice, but you will need a dark tone and a light tone.  For the dark tones I used Purple, Dubonnet  and Black.  One sheet of each colour will make many flowers!  Light tones were Lilac, Dandelion and French Vanilla
3. Raffia. I used a strand each of purple, dandelion and green.

   I found a great image of “how to draw a pansy” online, the size was perfect too!
