Get Crafty for Mother's Day!


Before you go spending SQUILLIONS of pounds on flowers for Mother’s Day, (maybe a slight exaggeration…) make sure you check this out first!
Paper and tulle flowers are leading the way when it comes to a high impact, easy to make gift, with great results. A wonderful crafty gift that will last forever- as long as you don’t try and plant them in the garden that is!
Simply cut four rectangles of coloured tissue paper (the colours are up to you), and two rectangles of tulle or netting, all the same size.
Lay them all on top of each other and fold into a concertina. Then bend in half like a fan and tie the middle with string so that it gathers together.
Snip the outside to make petal shapes and fan out slightly, and then gradually (and carefully!) separate the layers, scrunching them up to look more realistic.
The flowers look great as they are, or can be popped into a bunch for a perfect present! These flowers are also perfect for party decorations for Mother’s Day or even Easter!
With thanks to Kate Bruning from http://greedyforcolour.blogspot.co.uk for the fab idea!


As a little extra, our Polaroid Vintage Letter Tile 'Happy Mothers Day' Cards are a great way to add the finishing touch to your Mother’s Day treats. The floral background fits perfectly with the paper and tulle flowers too!
