Paper Flowers: First Attempts

Typically, bloggers do not share their work with the internet until it is perfected, so that their readers can admire the beauty of the perfected product.

However, since I'm a rank novice, I'm going to share my first, much-less-than-perfect attempts in the hopes that readers will find some solace in the fact that everyone struggles in the beginning.

So, without further ado, here are my first semi-successful paper flowers!

Napkin paper flowers:

These are super easy to make! I'm using them to hide a hideous internet cable on my wall.

Tissue paper roses:

These are made from a variety of tutorials and my own improvisations on those tutorials. I still haven't found a method I like yet.

Regular paper roses:

These were a major pain to make!
