Easy Paper Flowers for Kids DIY Fire Flowers
One of my favorite paper flowers in my new book is the Fire Flowers partly due to fact that is so super easy and simple that mostly any elementary school kids too can do it. I wanted to make sure I create some flowers in the book that even my kids would be interested in doing and the book does have many interesting projects that your kids could take up during the summer holidays!
The flowers came in a spur of the moment while playing around with a diecut from Michaels which are often used in most school.Yes,the flowers are made from the regular old diecuts found in most stores and a school staple also.
This time I changed it up a bit by using scrapbook paper and cutting out the pieces using the template template from the book.I used spotted scrapbook paper from NewEngland Scrapbook Company one of my local favourite paper shop here in CT.
Trry changing up colors and I am sure you can end with a great contemprorary accent decor.I thought once the flowers evolved I would call it a Ginger Flowers by my 7 yrs old daughter was the one who saw and said Mom it looks like and Fire Flower and that how the name came to be!
These flowers are going to be going to Paper Crafters Corner Hope you like the samplers!

DIY Easy Paper Flower Tutorials
Would you like to make easy paper flowers for this Spring with complete step by step tutorials all in one book?
"Flowers
are everywhere this time of year, and it's even in our craft books! I
am a knitter and crocheter, but I used to dabble in origami & every
once in a while I still do. I was thrilled when I was contacted to
review this book because I was hoping it would inspire me to play with
paper again - and it did !Maria breaks the book up by materials and technique - using crepe paper (maybe obvious to a lot of people, but news to me!), scrapbook paper, construction paper (which to me immediately means affordable and bright colors!), paper napkins (another affordable option), origami paper (easily bought at craft chains like Michael's, and I happen to have a package here), quilling paper strips (something I've never done but might try thanks to this book), and recycled paper. Maria also talks about what type of glue and wire you should use, and what other materials she recommends, making it easy for beginners like me to get started.
Another feature I appreciate is the fact that the book is spiral bound so the pages lay flat. Why don't all craft books do this?
There are also step by step photographs besides the written direction.
Some of my favorite projects include the tulip (unbelievably lifelike using doublette crepe paper in yellow, black, and green), bird of paradise (also using doublette crepe paper), pinwheels (not really a flower, but very cute, and uses double sided scrapbook paper), and the Kusudama Flower, using scrapbook paper, and something I actually made before years ago as a teen (I vividly remember making some to give to my dad for Father's Day).
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to begin playing with paper."
