i put away my spring decorations,and decided it was time for summer.
i learned how to make paper flowers when betsy (friend and younglives leader) taught our younglives girls a few weeks ago.
i needed a refresher, so i looked to a few ofthe great tutorials out there in blogland.
some didn’t turn out well. they went into the recycle bin.
all of the decent flowers went on green fuzzy pipe cleaner “stems”and then into my mason jar collection.
i made 3 different sizes for 3 displayson a bookcase and 2 end tables.
the photo effect used is “1960s” on picnik.
they were fairly quick and easy to make, and cost almost nothing.
i think they make my living room come alivewith bright colors and fluffy blooms.
are you ready for summer?

I don’t know what’s going on with my comments. It’s embarrassing because I’m really not a comment idiot. I’m experienced for goodness sakes! lol I’ll try this one more time.
I love the flowers! lol (big buildup for such a small comment. promise to be better next time. )
So vibrant! Love them.
Thanks for sharing @ Anything Related!
