I can’t believe I am showing you fake flowers? For one: You know, fake flowers, sort of a silly category. For twos: It *did* just become actual flower-growing season here in Maine, where you can get locally grown, insanely beautiful flowers at honor-system stands down almost any country road. But… I digress. These Unwilted paper flowers are handmade from Italian crepe paper and do a good job at a hard thing (being fake flowers).
Grace, one of the founders of newish Zollie Makes, has been a pal from the Knit Wit days and she continues to churn great stuff out in the crafting world. This new venture is specifically geared for beginners—kits, tools, and instructions to help any person, even the self proclaimed “bad at this,” make their way over that initial hurtle and unlock the lifetime of joy that is makin’ stuff with your hands.
Not entirely sure what to do with this little piece of information because it appears so astronomically out of (most) financial reaches as to be almost irrelevant. And yet, I can’t stop gawking at all the many different decorating opportunities? frivolities? available at Feau Boiseries. Imagine creating a fully cupcake Rococo room with some of these things!
I’m a Cancer, give me a hug.
I’ve always wanted to try making paper flowers. There are folks selling some pretty cool kits / patterns / instructions on Etsy! It just hasn’t risen to the top of the crafting pile quite yet.
