cupcake paper flowers ... ♥

i've had a few inquiries about the paper flowers 

that were on my craft table in the Better Homes & Gardens feature :) 

i originally got the idea from Martha here and just tweaked it a little 

by using the natural brown color floral wire 

(i liked that idea better than using the green floral tape)

so thought i'd share! come on, let's make some stuff ♥

gather up your glue gun, the floral wire & some cupcake papers

these colors were inspired by that jar of conversation hearts i have sitting on my craft table :)

it's simple really, and the pictures will walk you through it ... 

poke wire through paper, hot glue near the middle and pinch around the wire

(don't burn yourself!!)

repeat 3 times, or more, depending how puffy you want your flowers

ta-da! see?

what the bottom looks like :)

these would be a sweet Valentines Day gift

find a can or glass jar, wrap some ribbon or kraft paper around it and deliver :)

it'll be loved ... promise.

my craft room is happy it's Valentines Day too ...

(heehee)

short & sweet ♥

make lots :)

happy crafting! 

sweet parties here ♥
