Make an Iris Folded Flower:
Alison Sawyer from Baltimore, Maryland in the US teaches middle school at a small private school. Each semester, she offers a selection of electives for the students to take for that semester. The options include everything from bridge building and robotics, to madrigal singing and knitting. This year she decided to offer a paper crafts elective. She wrote that she loves working with paper products and wanted to pass some heritage crafts on to younger children. She had a group of 7th grade girls and one other teacher sign up. They started out with iris folding and the girls loved it. Several of them went on to do more projects at home. This flower card was made by one of her students named Precious.
