Planning for my daughter's birthday party is well under way. First I saw these flowers from The Craftinomicon and loved how simple and delicate they looked. Then once I saw these flowers from Greedy For Colour, I knew I had to combine the two into simple sweet decorations for her party.
STEP 1: I cut out 4" squares of tissue paper (all these colors came in one pack from the dollar store...score!). Then I cut out three pieces of matching tulle that were about 3" square.
STEP 2: I folded all the layers accordion style, making sure the tulle side was facing in at both ends. Then I took a green pipe cleaner and twisted it around the middle of the paper.
STEP 3: I rounded both edges with scissors and pulled each layer towards the center, starting with the tulle first.
I put the flowers into some vintage vases that I had on display in my living room and that was it! Easy table centerpieces that look ever so lovely;)

Very pretty...they look so real, I can almost smell them!
So sweet! I love them! :) I think I've finally gotten the girls to agree on a Pinkalicious party, since we are making them combine their parties one more year! So, now I'm dreaming of a pink candy bar, pink decorations, and pink cupcakes! :) I so wish we could be there for S's tangled party!
Those are so lovely! They might be just what a friend of mine needs for her wedding. How did you get the tulle to match the paper so perfectly?
These are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing at the Kiss & Tell party over at I Gotta Create!
I just had to share these in my Kiss & Tell Linky Party Artist Talent Album on Facebook! I'll be featuring them on Wednesday on my blog, too <3 <3
