We hit a heat wave in Des Moines, Iowa this last week. It was a whopping 63 degrees; needless to say, it was officially spring for a week. While unpacking my swimsuit and sundresses seemed a little over the top, it did get me thinking about flower paper crafts. Because if the flower are not blooming, why not make a few buds bloom.
Here is a run-down of a few fun and creative paper flower crafting sites.
MarthaStewart.com has a wonderful slide show highlighting multiple paper flower craft ideas, from paper dogwood flowers, a Giant Paper Poppies and quilled flowers. What I loved about this slideshow was the wide array of ideas and different materials that were used, including quilting, cupcake holders and coffee filters to make beautiful bouquets and decorations. If Martha Does it, it has to be good.
Craftbits.com has an adorable photo flower bouquet "how-to". This would be a great crafting activity for children and adults alike. The project uses foam sheets and allows to personalization with colors and flowers, and putting pictures in the middle to create a unique floral arrangement. Nothing says "I love you" like your face on a flower.
Craftstylish.com and the DIY wedding section has a DIY on “How to Make Simple White Paper Flowers”. From Jeffery Rudell. It gives step-by-step instructions for how to create the airy and simplistic white flower arrangement. It is not only beautiful it is intricate and provides for a unique take on paper flowers and what and how they can be incorporated.
Also from Craftstylish.com is the “How to Make Perfect Paper Daisies” another step-by-step instruction on crafting this elegant and interesting flower. It is beautiful, inexpensive and it really makes an impressive centerpiece. Great for those who are allergic to flowers or those with a crafting ability.
