Making Paper Accordion Flowers

 

I have a collection of twigs that I always use to hang seasonal things like
Christmas ornaments, Valentines hearts, St. Patrick Day shamrocks, and Easter eggs.
But I felt like adding something colourful and a little springy for the transition time to Easter.

 

I have a huge stack of scrapbook paper, punches and embellishments that are collecting dust.
So I thought I’d put them to use and make some paper flowers!

 

This was a great project for the kids too.  (It’s easy enough for little hands.)  They are on spring break, so they are happy to get in with Mom and create!

  2. Very cute. I am glad I have so many doors in my house. I am getting so many ideas for wreaths. LOL

  3. That’s a great idea. It does look like the perfect project kids can do, but with the papers you used, it looks elegant enough for adults to want the project in the house.
