Beautiful handmade paper tree Pink blossom

Hello everyone ,


Today is a wonderful day and I'm going to share with you all some of the paper  trees and plant crafts I made over the past few years and later on I'll add diy procedures for each of the flowers , Its going to be so much fun .At the time when I made all these I had no idea that i was going to put them in a blog so forgive the photography .
Everyone prefers a good ambiance at home and pine for a good looking interior decor at some time ,so instead of wasting so much money on such times ,why not utilize the available materials in nature and handcraft the flowers of your choice more efficiently and more creatively . Not only does it offers lot of piece of mind ,it brings the family together and closer . It sure does bring a lot of compliments . It is a great way to include kids in these projects as well. what better way is there to bond with them than spending time with them..Anyways some of these crafts does require patience .But its worth it . 


HANDMADE PAPER TREE (PINK BLOSSOM)


Wont it be nicer to have a nice little decorated Room to make our own pictures look cooler ? With a little bit of effort and time . We can make a wonderful background for our own selfie at home or at office or some place you own .Its always nice to have a small bouquet of flowers on table in a vase or a vibrant color climber on the wall  decorating our dull walls . It adds a lot of class and beauty to our homes . With that purpose in  my mind I started making these flowers using paper and other recycled materials . It was absolutely stunning to glance upon and decorated my humble abode very well . I even made gifts for friends using some creativity and they loved it . I love a present with a good story behind it . 

I have used around 10 newspaper sheets for this tree . Rolled them up and used cello tapes to keep them in place . Use old newspapers and add 2 or 3 different colors of handmade paper for leaves so it has more natural look , and use acrylic colors to color the base which I shaped used normal cooking flour ,for better look use gum-paste or any carved wooden base .

Roses are one the most beautiful flowers that is found in nature . It's pleasing look and elegantly shaped petals are enough to mesmerize any person ,added to so much beauty ,their colors are one other factor .

A bouquet of Orange Rose 

When I was a little girl I remember my mother growing a lot of different varieties of Roses in our garden along side with white lilies (they were her favourite ). Orange was not my favourite color but later on I loved it especially after all our Roses in our garden bloomed ,this one stood out ,because they were extraordinarily beautiful even when they were buds . The deep orange with dark leaves were simply marvellous to look at . Later I read that Orange signifies prosperity ,Passion and Enthusiasm . From the moment I knew so ,I started gifting my friends Orange Roses with a bow tied around them with a beautiful Bible verse on it . Making this is so much fun ,and giving them to loved ones is very fulfilling . 



Sadly after Dad retired our native soil and climatic conditions did not   encourage the growth of Roses . I miss them a lot ,I never fail to purchase these beauties once in a while from a good florist near by , since these are expensive I rarely buy them nowadays especially after I started making these pretty flowers at home using paper .
