Now that you've mastered the construction paper flowers, I think you should try them with crepe paper ala Josie Two Shoes. And that way you can scent them with a bit of perfume and they'll smell lovely as well. P.S. No matter what project you try, it could never be a fail if you took a photo of Nora with it. :-)Deborah Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971869506007671786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-65737946624844731112018-04-09T16:49:26.435-05:002018-04-09T16:49:26.435-05:00The second ones are so much nicer!

I can remember making literally hundreds of giant crepe paper daisies to sell at a carnival booth for some high school program, it was fun, but it was messy and I found it easier to do than to show my friends how to help me. Elmer's glue was our only option back then, today there are nicer things to work with, and does anyone even buy crepe paper anymore?? :-) I would love to see a vase of your second-version hyacinths, and I know Nora would love them too!Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-63064998210298481822018-04-09T08:45:35.070-05:002018-04-09T08:45:35.070-05:00The second one came out great.
