Paper Rose Christmas Wreath

Wanted to make a paper rose wreath for our beautiful teen niece.

This isn't it, but it's the starting point.

This wreath was used as a centerpiece for a baptism.

It was made with a wreath form inside.

I then had wrapped different gift-wrap paper from our baby shower inside a layer of tulle. 

Finished it off with blue ribbons and teddy bears. 

Each centerpiece was special.

They were on the tables surrounding hurricane lamps.

It really looked beautiful.  

So I started by deconstructing the centerpiece.

You can see it in the picture below in the back.

I wanted to make paper roses and decided coffee filters were the way to go.

So I searched for some tutorials/patterns.

I found the exactly what I was looking for here. 

Make and make and make.

Glue and glue and glue.

To finish it, 

added a purple sparkled pointsetta 

and a beautiful matching peacock.

These pictures are with different flash settings, I really like the glow in this one, but the detail of the  flower  and peacock in the one below. Which one do you prefer?

She loved it!

Pumpkin Centerpiece Revisited

Fall is here.

A pretty centerpiece for Fall and Thanksgiving was still needed, 

even though not a lot of time to put towards it.

I really wanted to carve this craft pumpkin into something similar to this sweet one.

Not quite what was planned

but still good.

Sometimes in life like crafts, it's not what you plan but what you make out of it.

"It's all good!"
