When we were dating, my husband always gave me daffodils on St. Patrick’s Day. I love them; they just yell spring! to me. We are far from having real daffodils yet, but M and I decided to whip up some pretend ones to brighten up our kitchen. :)
This little craft was taken mostly from this post over at Silly Eagle Books.
Cut several leaf shapes from yellow tissue paper by folding the tissue into several layers:
Draw and cut circles from contact paper:
Poke a green pipe cleaner through the center of a circle, bending the end into a little nub on the paper side. 
Peel away the paper and place six petals around the sticky contact paper: circle:
Wrap another pipe cleaner (we used yellow and a sparkly orange) around something to make the trumpet part of the daffodil. We used a small peg doll to wrap ours:
Attach the trumpet to the flower by twisting the end of it around the end of the green pipe cleaner “stem”:
Voila! Sunshiney daffies:
Have a beautiful day!

They're so cheerful!
