Paper Flowers

[SportyGirly125]

I never imagined that I was going to get a huge response like I did as soon as @CC3616 unboxed her Galentine's gifts yesterday.  I thought okay they know I like crafting because I posted a pic from my son's first birthday party.  The amount of responses with nothing but kind and sweet words definitely brought tears to my eyes.  I was overwhelmed with the love and feedback I was getting on just doing something I truly loved.  Making gifts.  I never thought that someone besides a close family member and friends would have a bouquet now. 

As soon as @Mcakes posted about the Galentine gift exchange I was hesitant about signing up but in the end I am so glad I did.  I knew from the moment I decided to sign up that a paper bouquet is what I wanted my Galentine to have and that I would make it in her favorite colors.

Here are other bouquets I have made in the past:For my Mom for Mother's Day

@SportyGirly125 You should teach a class on this 😁 But seriously, I can't imagine the time and effort it takes to make one of these arrangements. You are truly talented ♥️

@AznAngelLiz Awww thank you ☺️

I timed myself this month.  It takes me about 30 minutes just to make 4 of them if I don’t mess up.

@SportyGirly125 Holy wow!  Those are absolutely beautiful!  How long have you been making them?  Where did you learn?

[SportyGirly125]

@CookieGirl1 I started learning how to make them in January 2014 for my wedding banquet. I would just watch YouTube videos and then I just bought supplies at Michaels or an online craft store and then did my own take on them.  It was a lot of trial and error till I got them the way I liked them.

@SportyGirly125 that's really neat.  Do you like doing artsy-craftsy projects in general or is this a standalone art form?

@SportyGirl125 that's such a fun hobby and I'm jealous of your talents.  What a great gift to be able to share with others 🙂

@CookieGirl1 I love doing crafty things in general.  I actually make my close friends crafty gifts for their birthday and Christmas gifts.  I also did a whole Space theme party for my son’s first birthday with my best friend who is also crafty.Cake made out of cookies for my friend’s birthday
