Summer Flowers

We are well into June and it has been a while since I posted.  The end of school was very busy - it looks like I have some catching up to do!  I am hoping to spend time on trying new projects this summer.

One thing I stumbled onto was paper flowers.  My niece's Bat Mitzvah is coming up and I wanted to find a handmade item I could contribute to the ceremony.  I was inspired by the tissue paper flowers on Rust & Sunshine's blog.  I like the idea of "upcycling", so I made this flower out of newspaper and hit the edges of the petals with spray paint.  We'll have to see what my niece thinks!
