Paper Flower Bouquet

Last night Lee read to me and I put together red paper flowers.  The bouquet I'm making will be for the craft room.  I got more than a dozen flowers made.  So today I started putting together the white flowers.  After a couple were done I noticed they were the wrong color of white.  These had a slightly brownish tinge and the ones I used already in the bouquet were purple tinged.  So now I have a lot of white hearts and I don't know what I will do with them.  The red ones I glued to the Styrofoam ball.  I will have to get new white paper in order to finish.  Here is a picture of the bouquet so far.  The spaces will be filled in with either greenery or maybe lace.  To bad I don't have playing cards to paint the white ones red for me!

  2. Thanks! Mine actually is coming out alright except the styrofoam globe is so big. I will need something else to put the arragement on. I keep having a strange idea of hanging it like a disco ball. That would be really be cute for a wedding. Hanging balls of flowers. Now I'm thinking of putting it on a heavy dowel and winding ivy around it. A topiary look. If it gets much larger I will have to give it away! Can't wait to see your next project.
