Flowers

I have been dying to post pictures of the paper bouquet I made because I just think it's adorable. I know it's probably rude to be so excited about something I made, but I just love how this turned out! And the one of the best parts for me is that it didn't cost me a dime. I used only supplies that I already had. All those little scraps of scrapbook paper that I can never throw away finally came in handy. I used drinking straws and wooden skewers to make the stems then I wrapped them in floral tape. The vase is a pringles can cut down and wrapped in scrapbook paper. When you look down from the top, you just see a bouquet of adorable little smiling faces. In fact, the hardest part of the whole thing was arranging the flowers so that every child can be seen. It was so much fun to do this that I'm trying to figure out a way to sell them at craft shows. Let's just hope Mrs. Fitzgerald enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it! ;-)
