More non-wilting flowers

Just some more non-wilting flowers. I found some cute but simple ribbon at Wal-Mart and decided to make some flowers. I am going to take these flowers up to the restaurant to try and sell. We'll see how well they do. I really like a lot of the flower combinations. It's fun to see those colors together.

Flowers that won't wilt

I hate it when you get a great bouquet of flowers and a few days later they have wilted. Not any more. With a variety of ribbon, fabric, and paper you can create a long lasting flower bouquet.

I used an old bed spring as the vase, put some floral foam inside and covered it with floral moss. The stems of the flowers are wire and I stuck each flower into the foam. I tied a piece of ribbon around the foam to help hide it and hold the moss in.

Two flowers are made from paper. I made the lollipop flower and glued the wire to the back. Two flowers are from ribbon and the last is a yo yo flower from some scrap fabric.

I really enjoyed making the flowers and putting this together. I am going to have it as a project for the Hostess club coming up on Saturday, May 15th.

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

As the weather is slowly starting to change, I cannot help but think about the beautiful spring and summer colors. So, I decided that to help make it spring and summer faster around my home, I made a bunch of flowers from paper, ribbon, and an old pair of jeans. I am going to be offering the Hostess club an opportunity to learn to make these flowers. I think it will be lots of fun and it will help the hostess club ladies to create beautiful and one of a kind works.

Ribbon Flower

This is the flower I made after I received my Success book from Stampin' Up. I loved the way their flower turned out and thought I should give it a try. I used the Riding Hood Red grosgrain ribbon with the white strip running down the middle. The leaves of the flower are from Pick a Petal and I used the Old Olive classic stamp pad. I had so much fun making the flower and it was really easy.
