Don't have wrapping paper?

You can just cover the top of a gift box with pretty magazine paper and a paper flower!

The green pipe cleaner, unfortunately, did not stick to the magazine paper with glue so I stuck it to the box with cute piano tape!

Recycling?

So if you need something to put chocolates or cookies in, just use a box, clean it up, cover any writing with paper (hearts) and line the bottom with parchment paper! Most of my recent posts haven't been card-related...oops.

              

Ummm yeahhhh paper flowers

Soooo I guess I didn't really keep my promise, did I? My last post was over...a month ago? This is terrible. What happened to meeee?

Well, here are some paper flowers that I've made now that the weather is getting nicer here in NYC. I ventured to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens this past weekend, but there still weren't too many things in bloom outside. I hope the warmer weather we've been getting changes that!

The petals are paper hearts made out of magazine papers. Each flower is comprised of about 8 hearts and they are secured with a brad in the center. The stems are just green pipe cleaners.

My favorite one

Close second? Eh, eh?
