frou frou friday

Welcome to my first Frou Frou Friday! Hopefully this will become the first of many Frou Frou Friday's, but we will see how it goes. :)

So, what's going to happen on Frou Frou Fridays?

Well, I'm going to take the day off from painting and share a craft project with you.

Today's project is...

Pattern Paper Flowers

Here is what you need to make a dozen flowers:

• 1 sewing pattern that has not been used. (I have some vintage patterns for sale here.) SOLD
• Ruler
• Scissors
• Floral wire - 12 pieces

Here's how to make a flower:

1. Cut six 7-inch squares from the pattern tissue paper.
2. Stack them and fold them like you are making a fan. I folded mine six times. You will end up with a rectangle that is about 1-inch by 7-inches.
3. Round the corners of your rectangle with your scissors.
4. Tightly twist the wire around the center.
5. Seperate each layer and fan paper out to create a blossom.

Do this until you have a lovely frou frou boquet and enjoy!

Stop by next week to make a fun vintage clipboard using a pattern envelope!
