Paper flowers on found branches

March 30, 2010 by Erin Heaton

This is my favorite vase, but it’s obviously no good for fresh flowers. I’ve always meant to do a dry arrangement, and when I found these particularly artful sticks in the back yard, I brought them inside.

I cut small flowers from scrapbook paper following this idea from Martha Stewart. I folded these a little different than the Martha tutorial, mainly because I was doing it from memory, so my flowers have six petals instead of eight.

After snipping tiny holes in the middles of the flowers, I slipped them onto the branches. No adhesive necessary!

Kind of nice to know that when I eventually get tired of this, the whole thing is recycleable/compostable.
