so my friend is getting married and she wants do paper and wood flowers...
i love that idea because you can use recycled materials and they will last forever!
she asked me for some links and i had a ton bookmarked.
so i thought i'd share them here too!
i'm a DIY freak...i save inspiration & craft ideas like crazy.
it's so hard to find the time to craft though!
although i somehow made 2 skirts yesterday!
for one of the skirts i used an old ugly vintage dress.
i love making things from something
that would otherwise be thrown out.
so anyway i love that you can make flowers from paper!
and OLD antiqued stinky book pages would be the best!

scrunched & twisted scrapbook paper strips
from creating keepsakes
they'd be fun decorations not only for a wedding
but for a birthday party, bridal or baby shower, or just to brighten up your home...
hung on a string or on sticks/branches in colorful vases.
recycle your paper
super fast with a paper shredder.
from maya made
love the antiqued look!
and the button possibilities are endless!
try buying old yellowing-paged books from the thrift store for this.

these garlands are stunning...made from coffee filters.
you could also try it with cupcake liners! they're already colored!

so realistic looking!
these are made with crepe paper.
from the brides cafe
i was thinking these might be jazzed up a little better
if you put a rosette type wad of the paper in the center.

these are some of my favorite fabric flowers.
i think it'd be fun to experiment with this tutorial
using different types of paper...
wrinkled old book pages or crepe paper maybe.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this paper flower tree.
