This is my first attempt at making crepe paper flowers and I have to say, they’re quite fun! I’m making them to go on a wedding cake, of all the scary, intimidating things. Cripes, just a little bit of pressure. They’re something new, but I figured I’ve made a thousand fabric flowers… paper can’t be that much different, right?
I’ll post some photos of the After, with all the flowers on the cake, à la Martha Stewart Weddings:
Hoo lawdy, I need more practice. Wish me luck.
Your flowers look lovely – I bet that cake is going to gorgeous!
Oh so you’re just going to tell us about your adorable paper flowers an not post a tutorial? The rudest! And good luck I can’t wait for post pictures. And the tutorial.
Good luck with the cake! Your flowers look great :)
