I have to confess, I've only bought flowers for my books, journals and crafting one time. I got two tubes of those Primas paper flowers, one colored and one white so I can spray or paint them the color I need. I make all the rest and thought I'd share some with you.
I make flowers out of lots of different materials such as: scrapbook paper, book pages, paper bags, packing material, tissue paper, used dryer sheets, felt, napkins, old coffee filters, music sheets, used paper towels and material scraps. I also use old clothes such as fleece, t-shirts, khaki pants, jeans and old dress shirts.
These are some journals and note books I made that all have flowers on the covers.
Can you tell us how you did it? I have a collection of patterns of different flowers to make out of cloth or knit or crochet. Would like to add paper to that.
I have some dies that I use to cut the flower shapes. I just layer different sizes and use hot glue to hold them together.

Scrapbooking? Yes but in a whole new way. I love Smash* books, Daybooks* mini albums and junk journals. I love recycling and making my own books. This blog is all about my love for non traditional scrapbooking and journaling. I will have tutorials, fun ideasand tips on how to recycle and save money.
