Learn to Make Paper Flowers!






Yumi and I started making these paper flowers about a year ago. We taught ourselves from a book (Yumi, do you remember the name??).
My friend Phoebe reminded me that I was going to put up a little guide to share the flower love.
This is my very first movie so I'm a bit proud!
Enjoy...

This is stunning! I was so excited about this post that I ran to our stationary shop in my lunch brak and made 1! I was looking for alternatives to bridesmaids bouquets as I dont want flowers at my wedding (I am making a bouquet for myself out of brooches) I am going to use different colour tissue paper as well as add a few thinks, like stick on a butterfly clip????? Awesome Blog!

hi this i found your video nice and easy and I have tried this with a little colour to it I have used lighter shades of pink inside and growing darker outer layers and a green sheet as the last layer so that it makes it look more natural
