So here’s the details for the paper flower frame that I made from Crafty Days. The instructor is Dreamesh, a well-known DIY artist and party decorator. You can find her instagram profile at: _dreamesh. The construction of this paper flower frame is actually very simple. You only need a various color of Manila cardstock, scrapbook paper, and a round bamboo frame that people usually use for cross stitch. You glued all the flowers and leaves beautifully (or in my case messily) on top of the circle bamboo frame. I added a quote from a scrapbook paper and a couple of wooden letters. Since I want to give this to my cousin as her birthday gift, I also prepare an ‘anyaman’ box (I’m so sorry I can’t find the synonym in English) and the put the paper flower frame inside.
“HETTY” is my cousin’s name by the way;)) She can put the paper flower frame as a wall decor because it has a handle that you can use as a hanger on the top the round cross stitch frame (you can’t see it because of the flowers covering it).
Download flower patterns from the internet and print it on paper or directly on the manila cardstock. Choose a couple of pattern and in various sizes. You can then combine the patterns or the size of your flower. After that, just simply glued all the pattern together like in the picture. For the leaves, I just eye-balling the shape of leaves and cut it free-hand on green manila cardstock.
As for the roses… I find it difficult to explain how to make the roses in this post. But it’s actually very simple. You can find the tutorial all over youtube or simply google it.
And this is the ‘anyaman’ box that I tell you about in the beginning of this post.
The ‘Anyaman’ Box is actually a Pizza Box, that I recycled into a gist box.. Yup, you don’t read it wrong, it was a pizza box. Damn, I love the creativity of Indonesian people;))
That is all guys.. Have a great awesome day;)
