Hollyhock Dolls

When I was a little girl we used to go to my grandma's farm. One of my favorite flowers at Grandmas were Hollyhocks. (Like in the picture below).

At Grandma's farm my mom used to make us kids Dolls made from the hollyhock flower (like in the picture below).
Last night while at Mom's house we were admiring her beautiful hollyhocks and I asked her if she could show me how to make "those hollyhock dolls" So here you have it.....

My cute little mom and her "hollyhock Doll"
I like how the shirt mom is wearing kind of matches the doll.

    I remember as a child in the 1950's we had hollyhocks in the back yard and my mom and I made these. Wonderful memory.
