| in a new orange mason jar |
To fill
all the mason jars that I've
been making, I made paper flowers. Paper flowers aren't quite as lovely as fresh flowers (and are considerably more work), but they won't wilt and don't need water. And since I constructed a whole bouquet for a few dollars (with the supplies to make many many more leftover), I would say paper flowers are also quite a bit less expensive.
I constructed these lovelies out of tissue paper and chenille stems. The "flowers" are colored around the edges with marker to look a little more realistic (and pretty). I did four pink flowers and two red flowers. To make the flowers, I followed
this tutorial, which was very helpful.
The fake carnations remind me dyeing carnations with food coloring with my mother back in the day. Good times, good times.
