A larger paper flower to make. Have fun making these very colourful flowers.... They are fun to make, don't need to be watered and they never die. http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/fl_dried_pressed_flowers/article/0,2025,DIY_13817_2275976,00.html

I think this would be a great way to make seasonal or color coordinated flower arrangements for the house. I think I'm going to try and make a fall arrangement for the front hall. I'll post a pic if it turns out nice.

It's just unbelievable how realistic there flower look, I adore flowers but I just hate to see them wither and die, and faux flowers can be so expensive...it's great to have another option...thanks...SS

We are having our fiesta party this weekend... I could swear we have made a truckload of these! They are so easy, and look beautiful... we will have them all over the room in big tin buckets for decoration, and my sis used them to make garlands, too.

If I'm doing crafts, I don't have to clean house until I'm done! I've been crafting and sewing since I was 8 yrs old, and thats a lo-o-ong time! Its so much fun, and so rewarding!

That's a very good way of improvisation and preservation of natural flowers in their natural habitate. when we uproot natural flowers to our homes, we water them but their growth is affected by the fact that they're confined to space that otherwise that may not be enough for the strettch of their roots. i've a lady teacher in my school is good at making paper flowers and she decorates her class very nicely.

Well thank you very much for the link. They are beautiful and it would be something I could do with the grandkids. Also, since I am allergic to flowers I could really enjoy these. So nice of you to share this site with us.

Paper flowers also look beautiful. It is a sort of DIY and an art work to make them. It brings a lot of fun.

I remember making these a couple of times as a kid. My favorite was to use "cool" color wheel hues, the greens blues and purples.
