crafting for fun |
Posted: July 19, 2019 |
All think DIY and Crafts are so popular now. People seem to really like getting back to the basics and making things themselves. I have always been into crafts and especially so after having kids. I find many people are intimidated by not really having any experience making anything by hand. The reality is, crafts are hobbies. Hobbies don’t have to be perfect, they just have to make you happy. One of my favorite crafts to make and one that I think is really great for beginners is paper flowers. Here’s some of my favorite paper flowers to make: I love making rolled paper flower. Rolled paper flowers are great because they are so easy to make. I use my Cricut cutting machine to cut these templates. You will need a SVG template to because to use the cutting machines to cut your templates though. There are many free rolled flower svg available online. Related to the 3d Paper flower are paper roses. Rolled roses are really nice for all occasions. They are a great addition to any gift wrapping. I like to use rolled paper roses as part of my wall art. You will need a rolled rose template template to make these paper roses. With these cut file templates, rolled roses are also super easy to make with the Cricut. There are many other materials you can use to make paper flowers. Some of the more popular ones include crepe paper, tissue paper and of course copy paper. I have a set of free paper flower template for paper flower making with these other materials on my site as well. In general, I like to use paper flowers as decorations. They look great in a shadow box. I love making a variety of paper flowers and sizes and them putting them randomly in a shadow box. On the outside of the shadow box, I like to make a custom vinyl design. This looks great both in your own home or as a gift for a friend. I also love the social aspect of paper flower making. I frequently host parties with all my friends that are crafts themed. I like to cut out a bunch of templates, set out the rest of the materials, provide some snacks and it makes for a great evening. Paper flower making can also be therapeutic. I’ve seen lots of posts on facebook groups where people have managed their anxiety with rolled paper flower making. I find a focused but still relaxing activities to do in the evenings as I am watching TV. I’m sure this applies to a lot of other people out there as well.
