Streamer Flowers

This past week I have been running around planning and decorating a graduation party. My oldest cousin has finally graduated from law school. So I decided to help her out with the decorations. I ended up creating an arch of balloons as well as a few clusters of flowers. The flowers I ended up making were made of streamers and looked very original. Since these flowers were really easy to make and looked very cute I've decided to write a how to blog about them.
 
Materials:
    Scissors
    Floral Wire
    Floral Tape
    Streamers

1. Cut two 18 inch long streamer fragments. Grab one and fold it by halves until it is only about 1 inch in length. Then half way in length begin cutting it into an arch. Grab the second streamer and fold it a little less than halfway and then continue to fold it half way until it is only 1 inch in length. And cut it into an arch. (The reason it the second piece is not folded exactly like the first piece is so that each petal does not overlap)      

 

     2. Hook the floral wire into one side of both overlapped streamers and start wrapping the streamers around the wire. Make sure to pinch the paper a little as you wrap it so that it gets more shape.

     3. Then wrap come of the floral tape around the flower in order to secure it. They end up looking like this:

 

Rose Rings

Rose Ring

I found these cute fantasy rose rings. They look amazing with everything! I just love them. I used a white one to go to an elegant dinner and everybody kept complimenting me. They really pop out and look so lively. I'm selling each ring for $8.00. There is one in pink,blue, white, brown, black and purple.

The Beginning

This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship between my blog and I. I have always enjoyed creating different decorations for my room and now for my dorm, so it was easy enough to decide that my blog will be concentrated on that as well as my adventures. And since now most adventures involve money each of the items created will be up for sale. I´m sure anyone can find something they like here. I love to work with different things so there will be a huge selection of items.  I hope to at least increase my blog by one item each week. If there are any questions please leave me a comment and I´ll get back to you quickly.
