So I got creative at the weekend after searching the internet for paper flowers. I would love to make the flowers for my wedding so I am getting lots of practice in! This is my first attempt and I just used bits and bobs that I already had around in the house:
- I started by soaking an empty, large honey jar in hot soapy water to remove the label.
- Whilst this soaked I created my paper flowers (I will be publishing how to make this over the next week).
- Once the label was removed I used glue to secure string that I wrapped all the way around the main body of the jar.
- On it's own the string doesn't look great so I then tied a piece of red ribbon around the middle of the jar. If I were to make more I would probably use coloured string to give a better effect.
- I then took a piece of oasis floral foam and carved a piece that would sit on top of the jam jar lid.
- I used glue to secure the oasis floral foam in place on top of the lid.
- I covered the oasis floral foam in a piece of tissue paper- I used red as it was all I had but green would be ideal.
- I then arranged my flowers using cocktail sticks, pins and glue to secure them into place.
Voila!
