Some Paper Bouquets

It's March!  And until I can have some real flowers, I thought I'd share these little bouquets of paper flowers that I've made down through the years.  You can see the first one I made HERE, in 2019.   All of my bouquets were constructed using Crafter's Edge Beautiful Succulents dies designed by Tammy Tutterow, with button centers.  The tiny flowers surrounding each button are from a PTI daisy die, and the leaves from a TT Posey Flowers 4 set.  All of these are long retired, but with the selection of dies we all own, it would be easy to make something very similar.

After constructing the blossoms, I threaded a long length of floral wire down through the buttons and the flower, then twisted it together tightly and wrapped it with floral tape for the stems, adding a leaf with a glue dot to each flower.

This first one was plopped into a little glass cruet.  I added a silk bow and a little metal disk, also designed by Tammy, that says "Made with Love".  

I made this one in shades of aquas to brighten a tiny bathroom.  It's sitting in a canning jar filled with buttons to match.

And finally, one with a pink gingham bow and another of Tammy's disks

These little arrangements are now scattered around the house, and my Mom and sisters each received a similar bouquet as gifts.  I hope these may inspire you to make something similar.  Please share it with me if you do!

As always, thanks for visiting!
