DIY Projects | Paper Flower Backdrop

We love this paper flower backdrop tutorial from Green Wedding Shoes! You could use this backdrop for a wedding ceremony, cake table or guest book table. Use colored paper or wrapping paper to spice things up or use the tutorial to make a flower garland like this one here.

Materials:

• large sheets of butcher paper to make larger flowers
• sharpie or pencil
• scissors
• glue gun

Step 1: Starting from the outside draw a spiral on your butcher paper. Make the outer rings narrow and widen them as you move closer to the center.

Step 2 & 3: Cut out your spiral shape starting from the outside.

Step 4: Curl your spiral shape into itself. Start with the outside end and continue to curl until you reach what was once the center of your spiral.

Step 5: Let your flower unravel into itself a bit. Do not let go while it unravels! You want a flower that is a bit loose.

Step 6: Add a bit of glue to what was once the center of your flower.

Done!

DIY Love | Paper Flowers

If you are a DIY Bride, then today's posting will tug on your heartstrings.   I love unique and fun projects, when I found these Paper Flowers, I instantly fell under their charm.  They are a sweet reminder of how simple things can be so wonderful to share with others.  These would be adorable created from a favorite book, poem, special Ceremony readings or perhaps from your fiance's love letters!  They can be used as escort cards, napkin embellishments, boutonnieres [think- Groom, Love Notes!], hair ornaments for a flower girl, or a gift to a treasured friend.  You can find this lovely project at 100 Layer Cake.

 To see how one couple incorporated these sweet sentiments for their own wedding....
