Howdy everyone! It is the first Monday of the month and this month our theme at Designer Crafts Connection is Handmade Flowers.

I love making flower embellishments for my projects.  There are so many ways to create beautiful flowers from things you already have in your stash! This is a class I will be teaching in May at The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie.  We will be learning how to make 10 different flowers.

This flower is one of my favorites. It is made using Italian Crepe Paper and the XXL Glue Dots®.

This one is made from vintage crepe paper I found a few years ago. The glittered edge is Bo Bunny Glitter Paste.

I love being able to customize the flower to my project, adding different things for the centers, and using paints and mists to color them.

A vintage box flower that I learned a long time ago in a quilting class.

This one is made using plain cardstock and paper punches. I used stickles to add the sparkle to the edges.


I have several how to's on flower making in my Tutorials page - be sure to check them out. Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful week!
