Paper Daisies

I have had a tutorial for a long time that Maria Vanderform posted on how to make a Daisy Pencil Topper.    I have long been going to try it and finally got around to it yesterday.  I wanted something for a vase that I have had since last Christmas which was made for me by my friend Lorena.

I cut my flowers from Regal Rose, Melon Mambo, Real Red, Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight.  I attached the flowers to narrow dowel stick following Maria’s instructions.  I absolutely love the way they turned out and now my vase contains something beautiful.  I am going to stain the wooden dowel with green ink using a sponge.  I think it will tone down the wood without having to wrap it with florists tape which I never seem to be able to do well.  I should have done the sponging before I showed the flowers to you but I was too impatient to show them off.

I’d love to hear what you think about my beautiful vase of flowers.

Bye for now, Kris.
