I guess my fascination with paper flowers began when I was a little girl and witnessed the beautiful creations my mother did. At that time I couldn't even help her, but I was the girl who was proud to bring flowers to my teachers. ;)
Ha, creating the paper flowers per se, is still on my to do list, somehow the idea of cutting lots of little pieces of paper doesn't fit in my mind for more than I love them. That's why as soon as saw these packages of little paper flowers at Michael's I grabbed them to create a bouquet with them.
Some of them got trimmed, I wanted to have little buds on the end of the branches. Some of the leaves were also cut and attached randomly along the branches.
And hot glue to set the flowers in place.
I went around the house looking for green vases / bottles, and these are the ones I found.
Don't you love polka-dot flowers? :)
I think these are really cute and hey, super easy!

Oh Cristina! Those are SOOOO cute. I have never made paper flowers but I feel a crafting spell coming up. I love the polka dot ones and the ones with stripes on them. What a fun, fun thing for Spring! My oldest granddaughter loves to craft. I think we will have to do this for a little tree for her room. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana! This certainly is a good project where big kids can give you a helping hand! Have a beautiful day!
DeleteSo so adorable, perfect for those of us with hay fever!!! Please come link up at Share Your Style!!
ReplyDeletehehehe That's right Debra, no cough, runny nose or itchy eyes with these ones! Thanks for the invite, I'll be there!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea! I love all the blooming branches in the spring but hate the cleanup and spiders that they bring into the house! Love this.
ReplyDeleteWhat an imaginative way to use those little flowers, I never would have thought of that! SO sweet! XO
ReplyDeleteOur trees leaves have not budded yet on the Cdn Prairies so what a great idea for a "if you can't make it fake it" with these cheerful cuties!
ReplyDeleteCristina, those are adorable. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty idea!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a way cute idea!!
ReplyDeleteLove these flowers, have to grab some soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very creative display! Simply branches with flowers cost a lot in the craft store (trust me, I've bought them), and you have managed to find a budget friendly alternative. Thanks for the idea...no more buying from the store.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And I love the paper flowers you found. I am looking for paper flowers like that for a Teacher Appreciation Week gift for my son's school, so I guess I need to visit Michaels!
