how to make rad paper flowers

it's a good idea to be creative in any form. just to have fun no matter what. i got up this morning and made an enormous paper flower the size of my face from an old sewing pattern that i was DEFINITELY never going to use. instead, it's been re-used and has make a striking decoration on my friend's wedding gift!

it was super-easy! here's the tutorial: learn to make paper flowers with emma from feeling fuzzy?

about us

we create one-of-a-kind succulent arrangements in antique vessels because it's our way of blending two things we are passionate about.

succulents + antiques = succulessence!

mostly all of our containers are UPcycled. this means we are converting items that usually are no longer used - into items of purpose. vessels are collected specifically for their unique shapes, dents and patinas, giving our planters instant character - a gift only the work of time can provide.

we particularly enjoy planting in kitchen + serving items - such as antique flour sifters, pitchers, cream + sugar sets and engraved baby cups.

these works of UPcycled art are designed to live in their containers for anywhere from one to several years. just add bright sunlight, occasional water + a little love.
