Paper Flowers

We have had way too much of cloudy, dreary, cold and rainy weather the last few days weeks and I haven't been able to get outside much to tend to my flowers and ever growing weeds. So I decided to make some paper flowers.  These I bought at the spring home show.

When I saw them I thought 'Oh those look simple, I can make those' so I bought them so I would have something to go by.

Then I made these. They aren't as nice but with a little practice and perhaps some leaves or something, I think they will get there.  They really are fun to make. Most of the paper I used was from an old wall paper book, so there really isn't much cost to making them. And it always gives me a good feeling to use something I already have on hand.
