Plan
The students will work hand over hand to draw around a petal/bee template. The shape will then be cut out hand over hand by coping saw. The resulting shape will be smoothed with glasspaper and drilled using the cordless drill and template so that it can be doweled into the centre of the flower. The whole shape will be painted whilst unassembled, assembled and then varnished.
The resulting projects will be wall mounted, either by blutack or by another method, depending on the position it will take.
