Those will be super pretty! I am making paper and fabric flowers for my bouquets so I am all for these. You're doing great!

Thank you! I found hot glue is key! lol Except when I'm burning my fingers, but hey I'm sure I'll get better as I go.

I absolutely love them! Can you make more for me? : Kidding, but they are beautiful.

These look amazing! What type of fabric are you using? Are you using a tutorial? I'd like to try my hand at these!

Beautiful!

lol Depends on how fast I get these done. Yes the best tutorial I found for this is a youtube video. The others made it more difficult. I don't know if the lady says anything in it, I'm a visual person so I had it muted. This is the one I used...

My biggest thing was not over thinking it. The harder I tried the more I messed up.
