Paper Flowers

I had so much fun making this! I'm using this flower for a birthday present

This is great and creative way to use for gift wrapping and also card making

This is very easy to make it only takes 5 minutes of your time =)

Things you will need:

- Paper

- Scissors

- Ruler

- Pen/pencil

- Sticky tape or sticky dots

Step 1

Get some paper (I have been using some scrapbook paper)

Step 2

Use your ruler and and make 3 squares

One big, medium and small

After you have done this cut your squares out    

Step 3

Fold each of your squares into a triangle

Step 4 

Draw a petal on your paper then cut it

Unfold your paper and you should have 3 pieces of paper in a shape of a flower

Step 5

Get a pencil and curl your petals 

Step 6

When you finish this get your sticky dots and start sticking them together

Start with the biggest flower then put the medium flower on top and so on

Step 7

You have finished your flower if you like you can stick a button in the middle of it (I used a giant sequin) 

There you have it! I have made a few of these and have put them with my wrapping paper and gift ribbons 

Tea cups, candles and cake stands

For those who don't live in Australia there is a huge/awesome event that happens once a year called "Love Vintage Show"

I found out about this in Frankie magazine and this year was the first time I went 

It was held in the Royal Melbourne exhibition centre 

 So basically there are a lot of stands with different things EG clothes and homewares

I would love to focus on one stand that stood out the most to me and I spent most of my time there too

Kate and Rose- Vintage Tea Cup Candles and Cake Stands

OMG if there was a Heaven on earth I think we would be very close (for all those who know me know that tea cups are a huge weakness for me) 

These ladies go to second hand stores find some cups and make candles because they get bored when the kids are at school. How clever is that?!

I got a egg cup with a little candle in it, but I figured when the candle runs out I can put tea lights in it until I master making candles myself but then I thought why not put candles in my other tea cups that I don't drink from anymore
