Create a bouquet that lasts forever 🌷

In this Cricut workshop, we'll be making a layered paper craft using the Cricut machine. It is a fun spring craft and a perfect handmade gift just in time for Mother’s Day, though you are welcome to make one just for yourself too.😊

Participants must already have a Beanstack account and have earned their Cricut Badge before registering.

Space is limited, so secure your spot and make it happen :-)
