Wisteria

Lately, I still find much joy in using "bakepapir" (wax paper, parchment, baking sheets) to make delicate flowers. Make your own individual flowers (see below) or make your own mini wisteria. Time consuming but the end result is so worth it!

Treasure Boxes!

Our double sided paper is great for so many things! Use it to cover an otherwise very boring little wooden box! You can get your own kit here and here!

Paper flowers

Beautiful, delicate, paper flower. So easy!

This is what you will need to make your own bouquet: scissors, pliers, florist tape, florist wire and parchment paper (preferably the kind that come in sheets).

Make a loop at the end of your wire using your pliers.

fold the paper the long way, folding every 6 cm. When finished fold up one of the ends about 6 cm.

cut off the top (the excess with be the blossoms for your next flower), leaving the fold on the bottom.

Cut out a blossom, again, leaving the fold on the bottom. Experiment

 with different shapes

Lay out one blossom flat and thread on to the wire. Repeat for each bloom.

If you did everything right, you flower should start taking form and look sort of like this.

Turn upside down and pinch the blooms together.

Use the florist tape to hold blooms in place. Continue all the way down the wire to complete the flower.

Voila! Find a small tin or cylinder and display your work proudly! Best of all, they never get brown or wilt. What could be better!
