Petite Paper-Wrapped Bouquets

No reviews yet
UPC:

I like to surprise the remarkable women in my life with flowers as a cheerful reminder that I’m thinking of them. One of my favorite ways to do this is to go to the corner market and purchase one of their beautiful bouquets filled with various colors and flower types. Doing this allows me to create a number of smaller bouquets and customize them to include the recipient’s favorite flowers and colors.

After an unusually dreary and gray winter in Southern California, I knew my friends could use some flowers to add a bit of sunshine to their lives. While I usually wrap these little bundles with kraft paper, I decided to use papers from Dina Wakley’s “Collage Collective” to make them extra colorful. To do this, gather a selection of flowers and greenery, and trim them to the length you want the bouquet to be. With the paper placed flat in front of you, position the flowers in the upper-left corner so they lay diagonally. Fold the bottom-right corner of the paper toward the upper-left corner, and then fold the remaining sides in, securing everything with twine. This may take a little trial and error, but once you get it, it’s easy to do. You can also look for tutorials on how to create small paper cones to hold the flowers, but I like the rustic, imperfect look of folding the paper.

This project would also work using the free artists' papers that are included inside every issue of Somerset Studio.
