In the hands of children, there’s little paper can’t do.

On Thursday, June 29, kids got the chance to learn how to make flowers and other plants entirely out of paper.

The free event was hosted at SAM for kids aged six to 12 to create their own wearable creations. Inspired by host Becky-Jane Fortin, the children were all excited to make and design their own flowers.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit headed to SAM to capture all the happy moments, as well as see some of the designs the kids made.
