Flower pounding

This fun project will have them sweating and results in a beautiful decoration. Start by collecting flowers outside in a variety of colors and shapes. Next, place the flowers on a clean piece of fabric, cover with cardboard and start swinging that hammer. The pounding will transfer the image of the flower onto the fabric, so cool! Head to Artful Parent for all the details.
