Milk jug lotus flower craft

Playgroundparkbench is touring the world by flower. Bloggers from all around the world do a flower craft representing their state or country and share it with you all. We have flower crafts from 16 US states and 9 countries. My nine year old made a lotus flower from Milk jug to represent India. She attached a magnet to change her lotus flower craft to a fridge magnet.
