Cut yellow cardstock into circular shapes to form the sunflower centers.
Dip a cotton swab or fingertip into brown paint and press small dots across each circle, filling the center with texture.
Allow the painted centers to dry completely before handling.
Glue yellow paper strips evenly around the edge of each circle to create sunflower petals.
Tape or glue a wooden skewer or craft stick to the back of each sunflower.
Insert the finished sunflower decorations gently into the soil of each plant pot.
