It's hard to find a good present for our grandma (actually, she's my mom, but Anya's grandma).
"I have everything," she says always.
Ok, we will not buy a present, we will make it!
My mom has a beautiful garden in Russia. She grows everything there: potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, apples, strawberries, black and red currants, gooseberries... and it's not all. Her favorites are flowers. Her garden is full of flowers.
My mom's birthday is in February. No flowers yet :) Well, we will give her a garden of flowers made of...crayons!
To make a piece of art, we used canvas (12"x12"), crayons (we used 3 boxes to pick only greens), artificial flowers, glue gun and hair drier.

| Glue crayons to the edge of canvas with a glue gun. |
Turn canvas upside down so crayons are pointing down.

| Grandma's Garden is pretty! |

This is really cute. I saw it on Pinterest. And I think your entire post has been stolen and published on this site. The site is made up of stolen content. I thought you might want to take a look. http://interests11.blogspot.com/2012/03/grandmas-garden-crayon-art.html
