Hi Again!

A little backstory about this DIY

one of my good friends recently graduated, at first I thought that I'd give her a bouquet of roses until I saw how much a bouquet of fresh real flowers costs. (i'll never ask for flowers from my boyfriend ever again. lol)

Anywaaayyy,

Since I'm crafty and I have too much free time, I thought "why not make a paper flower bouquet instead?" and I'm not kidding when I say that this DIY literally costs me zero amount of money. well because I already have all the things I need lying around at home, but if i were to buy the papers and materials, it would still cost a lot cheaper than real bouquets.

Let's get on to the process, shall we?

What you'll need:

• paper plates (I used gold square scallop ones, but any paper plates will do)

• HVS Paper

• sharpies and markers

• bamboo skewers

• strips of impraboard or corrugated board, or any thick board

• tapes. lots and lots of tapes

• ribbons, glitter, etc (optional)

STEP 1 - Making the paper plate flowers

cut your paper plates into 8 pieces like the picture below to make small modular triangles

assemble the triangles in a circular motion and curl the edges inwards. then, tape the center of the flowers together.

For the center of the flowers, I made a simple fringe paper strips rolled to look like a flower pistil. after that, simply stick the flowers onto a piece of Impraboard or corrugated strip.

STEP 2 - DECORATIONS

Now that the main part of the bouquet is done, time to make some decorations to make the bouquet appear fuller

for this part, I drew on some flowers and leaves onto some HVS paper, cut it out, and stick it on a bamboo skewer with tape. at this point you can make as many or as few as you like, or maybe throw in some ribbons and glitters and other decorations.

STEP 3 - ASSEMBLE

Tape the hell-o kitty out of these flowers

AAAAAND VOILA...
