Aren't these so pretty? These came into being when my sisters and I were hosting a garden party. We wanted to make tissue paper poofs... but didn't have any tissue paper, only colored printing paper. I love the result even more than if it had been tissue- it's less flabby and will last for a long time!
These are my dogwood flowers. I got
branches that were just budding (for the realistic texture) cut some
petals out of white printing paper, glued them to the stems!!!
I gathered some tree branches and old dried oak leaves,
cut the leaves into the shape I wanted them, glued them onto the
branches, and displayed them in my beautiful trash bin
