Freshly Constructed HEXBUG DIY Mother’s Day Flowers

May 6, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

Moms are the ultimate multitaskers, caretakers, role models and on top of that, they love us unconditionally! After all the little things they do, the least we can do is make sure they feel special this Mother’s Day! Nothing is better than a homemade card and breakfast in bed, but we at HEXBUG are here to offer another option, flowers! However, this isn’t your average handpicked backyard bouquet. Build your mom a personalized flower arrangement straight from the heart! And the best part is – these flowers are made from assorted VEX Robotics parts, so chances are, you’ll already have everything you need!
