Paper Posies

These are so easy and fun to make. Just cut out
different size circles of any craft paper, pinch around
edges to give it dimension, glue together in center.
They have a whimsical look to them.


Of course I chose vintage papers! Brush the edges with stamping ink.
And vintage vegetable buttons for the centers.  Ideas? Use on
handmade greeting cards, place 'round the bottom of lamp shade,
use in your blog swaps, take a photo and use for a header!
Decorate your dress form with a few.  Add to an assemblage.
The possibilities are endless!

  1. Oh Linda Sweetie...
    I adore these posies. How sweet they are. I love your choice of vintage papers. So pretty. They look just delightful. Thank you for sharing. I have all the pieces I would need to make some, so I will have to give them a try.

    Did you sew the buttons through the layers of paper or are they just tied for appearances?

    Thank you again for sharing. Have a beautiful evening. Country hugs..>Sherry

  18. The possibilities are indeed endless! I'm glad you specified 'brush the edges with stamping ink' because I was wondering whether you'd set them alight to get that nice brownish colour...my mind was doing a bit of a boggle! Thank you for sharing, I think they are wonderful!
