Ethan and Sandra Lagerquist (some friends from back home who are also in teaching in Korea) came down to visit us for the weekend. (It was so much fun hanging out with everybody!)
On Saturday, we decided to have a “girls night” at our place (the guys got together at the Grove’s). Amanda had the great idea to have a crafting party and make paper flowers. I had never made flowers before, but let me just say–it was so much fun!
Looking back, I really wish I had taken pictures during the event. Sadly, I didn’t think of taking pictures until today… Oh well.
If you recall the wallpaper in our living room (see below), it is fairly mild with mostly neutral tones. I kept this in mind when I was paper shopping at the craft store. 
Some creamy-white flowers mixed with burlap-tan.
Splashes of peach…
I also took some wire and twirled it around a pen to make spirals.
I mixed them all together, and… came up with the final result. 
Well, that was my first flower-making experience… And I’m pretty sure it won’t be my last!
Wouldn’t this be fun to do for a wedding?

YES! I want to do this for my wedding! But I’m not sure I have the patience

You should have a girls party and do it with friends, family or maybe bridesmaids!? I know I would have loved to do something like this to help a friend with wedding stuff!
Very Pretty! I love the color combination.

Thanks!
These are beautiful! I am going to have to make some for my kitchen table!
That sounds pretty! Post pics when you do!
I love this! Mom had bought me a kit when I was younger on how to make paper flowers and I used to decorate my bedroom with them. Best part is the worst you are at cutting the paper out normally the better the flowers look. The Sweat Pea flowers were always my favorite to make.
Nice. That sounds like something I would have done 🙂

Thank you Ms. Tamara!
I’m not normally big on peach (I blame my complexion for that.), but I LOVE this color scheme, as well as the variety of shapes. It looks gorgeous. 🙂
Thank you Amanda. This wouldn’t have been my first choice either if it weren’t for the wall paper, but I ended up really liking it!
These are gorgeous!
I’ve never seen such pretty paper flowers before. And the wire spirals look amazing with them! 🙂
Haha, I was impressed too. Thanks.
Great job on your first bunch of paper flowers! Glad to see you are enjoying your adventure in South Korea too! Look forward to seeing more of your crafty work.
Thank you! It’s great having time to be able to craft!
You really are one crafty lady! I’ve just been browsing your blog. These flowers are gorgeous! Thanks for following my blog.
That is very kind of you to say. I really enjoy crafting! Thank you very much.
