I made this cute little paper rosette wildflower arrangement for Things TT, an awesome market we were happy to be part of. As the Wildflower adventure continues, we're beginning to think lots more about display ideas, and not only that, but display ideas that suit our style and our energy. Our ultimate vision for our craft market tables is one of artsy, poetic, earthy whimsy and a sense of visual lushness at the same time. I loved making this little arrangement. It was set up in a glass jar filled with crushed orchid petals and pebbles. Along with the flower rosettes grew and old paintbrush, a bit of swirly decorative wire, a bit of green, and a call card ;). Here are a few shots:
If you're interested in making rolled paper rosettes, this Youtube tutorial does it pretty nicely!
They can also be made with felt, which has a softer, sweeter look, I think.

I didn't want my rosettes to be too symmetrical and perfect, so I cut them the swirl with varying thicknesses and added a twist every now and then while rolling it. I've always felt that the important and beautiful thing about all the DIY resources that there are online is that they're there for you to put your personal twist on. No two projects look the same.
More soon.
