Impatient Paper Flowers
To celebrate the 2010 International Women´s Day I would like to share this simple DIY-idea with you. I came up with this idea when I looked at my cherry blossom branches which I´m impatiently waiting for to bloom. I cut some simple paper flowers which are both quick and easy to make. See the drawing above for the size, and start by cutting a hole in the size of the branch – then cut 5 petals around the hole – and wrap the flower around the branch – you might have to vary the size of the hole from branch to branch. I used plain white paper – and painted a yellow circle around the hole on some of the flowers – I think thick paper will work great too. Happy Womens day and have fun cutting – and if you have any questions please let me know.
P.s After I posted this I suddenly realized where my inspiration also came from. Last month at Formland I saw these flowers by PFISK, and loved the idea – so if you don´t enjoy cutting – you can buy these - which are a bit more sturdy than paperflowers. Inspiration is everywhere – sometimes I don´t know where it came from – but when I do remember - I want to give credits.

Sød idé, må man spørge hvem der har malet billedet i baggrunden, og lavet den søde lille kineserpige? Jeg har set dem andre steder, men har ikke fundet ud af hvem der står bag:-)
Hej Sandra – maleriet er af Mette Hanneman, http://www.hannemann.dk – og den lille Kokeshi Doll er fundet på en messe i Tyskland, men hvis du googler Kokeshi kan du finde dem i diverse webshops også.
This is very cute. I love it. The new site looks great too.
Hvor er du vild. Sikke en tålmodighed, men meget fint ser det ud.

de er klippet på under30 min foran fjernsynet – så passer perfekt til min tålmodighed :)
Smart med snyde blomster, perfekt mens vi venter på de rigtige. Tak for idéen.
SUPER ide! Vil straks gå i gang :)
