Tissue Paper Flowers

  1. Gather your supplies: tissue paper, spray mist, circle punches, buttons & embroidery floss.
  2. Cut your tissue paper into strips wide enough to punch circles in.
  3. Punch circles of varying sizes in the strips of tissue paper.
  4. Layer several tissue paper circles, with the smaller circles on top, add a button to the center of the top circle and attach the button and layers of tissue paper together using embroidery floss.
  5. Spray the flowers with the spray mist. Set aside to dry.
  6. Once dry, the flowers should have a crinkly look to them.
  7. Use your flowers on a project.

PDX Pals Mini Album

I created this mini album for our friends Ashley & Justin who just moved back to Kansas last week. Over the past couple years, we grew very close to them and were very sad to see them go. It was important to me to create something for them to remember us and this mini documents many of the adventures the four of us have had over the past couple years. I used Basic Grey's Origins collection to create the album.
