This is a cute project and love using fingerprints to create some memories for mom! Another alternative would be to use heavy stock wallpaper or even fabric if you want a different look. If this is going on the wall, with only a half container pot, you would not need to complete te backs...otherwise, if this is to,sit in a table, then of course you would want the sides completed too. A fun little project sure to,please any mom!

If you take the time to glue two pieces of scrapbook paper together so the flower is two sided, you might want to put the pipe cleaner between the pieces of paper as well so the stem doesn't show on the back. I assume you would also want to do the fingerprints on both sides as well.

I was thinking the same thing. I think they would be darling if they were framed. Use another piece of scrapbook paper to create the pot, then glue everything to a background piece and pop in a frame. They would last longer, and not require dusting. A bonus for Mom's I know.

Very cute! It looks like half of a pot, is that just the angle?
