Paper Flowers

Again, old magazine pages turned into pretty things. I found a popular paper flower tutorial from www.howaboutorange.com, which can also be found in many other sites. You can use patterned or origami papers to make these, too, but trust me magazine pages create a natural random look for the flowers and it costs you no penny :)

These paper flowers sit beautifully inside an old paper bag tied with silver ribbon on my bedside table now. And look at how each flower can be used as a napkin decorative ornament. Just put it on top or slip the stem in between the ribbon. It's great as gift wrapping ornaments, too!
