Paper flowers

Today we are re-visiting a post from 4 years ago; it's as relevant and fun today as it was then!

Rebecca Sower is one of my all time heros when it comes to creative genius!! She has an eye for design and her scrapbook pages are awesome. Scrapbooking lifes little MOMENTS, is a well read book in my house!

These paper flowers are inspired by Rebecca.....

All you need to make them are a few circles of patterned paper (great way to use up scraps!), some buttons, craft wire and florist wire.

Oh and some wire cutters and craft pliers come in handy too :)

You can see Rebeccas tutorial on making the little wire bits here!

I crumpled and inked my paper circles, then layered them before making a hole in the centre with a thick needle.
Thread the wire through the hole and wind it around the florist wire (or kebab stick) stems.
A twist in the stem makes the 'leaf'.

They are so simple to make, and the best bit is they last forever :)
