Paper Flowers

[smallhobbit]

We had our first Dare to Dabble session face to face yesterday.  It was lovely to go back and be able to do craft together.

My first flower has a chocolate in the middle which is surrounded by small strips of paper, cut to form the petals.  It was a bit fiddly getting the paper round the chocolate.



After which I made a couple of sunflowers/daisies.  These are a long strip of thick paper/thin card concertina-ed up and then with the ends stuck together to form the flower head.  The dual colour one has a thinner strip on top of the wider strip and both are conceertina-ed together.

   

Then I made a couple of hyacinths, which again are long strips of thick paper/thin card with slots cut down about two-thirds of the way and then wound round a straw.

 

Which made rather a nice bouquet altogether.  A very enjoyable afternoon.

These are so colourful and pretty. Are they quite delicate to handle? Also, shouts in joy for face-to-face sessions.

Thank you very much. The paper crushes quite easily. I took the photos before I brought them home - they survived reasonably well, but they do look a little better in the photo. Yes, it was so good to go to a session.

What a wonderful craft! All of your flowers turned out beautifully! :-D

I think the hyacinths might be my favourite, though I love the sunflowers/daisies as well.

Thank you very much. I was very pleased with the hyacinths, so simple and yet so effective.
