ONE – TWO DAY WORKSHOPS
Paper Flower Workshop
Have a place in your house that needs a little color, a nice vase asking for some flowers to show off, a holiday season to decorate, maybe a friend that needs some cheering up or a loved one to give a special hand-made flower?
Crepe paper flowers can give a burst of color that is very unique and lasts much longer than a real flower, and they’re not difficult to make. It is a very creative and fun craft giving you lots of compliments when you are done.
In this workshop you will make a camellia flower and bud. I will give you the basics of flower making so that you can continue to make many other flowers of your choice. All materials to complete the flower and bud will be provided for you. You will be asked to bring some tools and supplies for the workshop upon registration. I will list color choices that you may choose for your flower once you sign up.
I hope to see you there, and let’s have some flower making fun!
