giant paper flowers from ruche
You may remember the wedding of our lovely D*S contributor Brittany Watson Jepsen. Her huge paper blooms made such a splash that she started selling them in her shop, and just recently Brittany wrote a great article for Brooklyn Bride about the paper flower trend. I’m thrilled that this is a growing phenomenon; I adore anything made in exaggerated scale, so I feel that the more giant flowers and plants there are in the world, the better. This particular giant-flower DIY project comes from the creative team at Ruche. Our creative team brainstormed ways to turn our spring lookbook, Enchantment, into a daydream.

Giant Paper Rose Flower
If you loved the beautiful DIY wedding this morning and Nata’s gorgeous paper flower bouquets, you are in luck as Nata is sharing how she crafted them with us! She was inspired by a template created by Morgan Levine on Martha Stewart (as was I in the flowers I created for this styled shoot). I just love that this basic idea has inspired different brides to create their own version of giant paper flowers – you might remember these equally awesome giant paper flowers from this wedding I shared last year. :) Thanks so much Nata for sharing how you created your giant pink paper rose + special thanks to Studio Castillero for the photos of the DIY + her wedding! Materials (to make one giant rose) Step 1: Cut the petals Cut 5-6 teardrop petals and 15-6 heart-shaped petals from the petal colored crepe paper. IMPORTANT: Crepe paper is directional so it matters which way you’re cutting the paper. Repeat until all of your petals are cut Step 2: Cut the leaves + calyx Step 3: Make the rose stem

carnation flower cookies… Let’s Smell the Flowers, shall we?
As I’ve mentioned before, I have little luck with growing things. Cut flowers I can manage, as their fate has been determined before I put them in my vases. And I almost always have cut flowers in vases, it’s one of my indulgences. So I was thrilled to be a part of the Let’s Smell the Flowers collection of cookie flowers created by cookie genius Haniela . Scroll to the end of this post to see the collection of 19 incredible cookie flowers by 19 incredible cookie decorators. I chose carnations. So I chose to glorify the carnation. To make these I used the same method I used to make these gerbera daisies . It took a good bit of fiddling to come up with the signature ruffle look of a carnation, and my end result is still a bit too rose-like, perhaps. how to make carnation cookie pops you will need:* cookie dough royal icing fondant 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter lollipop sticks food coloring wax paper rolling pin pinking shears light corn syrup small paintbrush decorating bag coupler size “4″ decorating tip 1.
~Lily of the Valley Cookies~
Did you know Lily of the Valley is considered to be a flower of fairies? Apparently they use tiny bell shaped flowers as cups to drink from. Who knew right? Lily of the Valley is a flower of May, weddings, symbol of purity, modesty and happiness and I adore it for its tiny clustered flowers. I decided to take a more modern approach for this cookie design, using a simple round cookie cutter. Round Cutter is the evergreen of cookie cutters(in my opinion) and you really can't go wrong with it. Lily of the Valley Cookies There it is - pretty and super easy Lily of the Valley Cookies, but that is not all I wanted to share with you today. In February I decided to launch a little cookie project "Let's Smell The Flowers" and today I'm so very proud to show it off, we have 19 different flowers growing in the cookie garden! 1.
DIY Faux Porcelain Rose (Guess How It's Made!) » Curbly | DIY Design Community « Keywords: Valentine's, recycle, rose, spoon
This, my friends, is one of the craziest/coolest things I've seen in a very long time. The delicate rose pictured above looks like it's made of porcelain, right? Of course it's NOT porcelain. Can you guess what it IS made of? If you guessed melted plastic spoons, you'd be correct! Not sure about off-gassing here, but it is crazy/cool. Spotted at Fine Craft Guild.
