I finally wrapped up this fabric leaves and paper flower project I had going on. It was actually quite easy, the leaf pattern tutorial I found on Amy Butlers website in her free pattern section. Of course I didn't follow the directions correctly and sewed my leaves on upside-down, I didn't even notice until my Mother pointed it out, thanks Mom. The parchment paper flower tutorial, I found on Etsy's How-to-Tuesday. I opted not to use the parchment paper, to boring with no pattern and no texture. Instead I picked up a scrapbook paper tablet by Martha Stewart, the paper is a little stiffer, but worked out great. I did buy floral tape like the tutorial says, but instead of wrapping the stems I picked up pre-packaged floral cloth wire. You will still need the floral tape for wrapping the hook section of the stem and taping your flower in place. The extra scones I picked up at Michaels as well, just to add some omph and texture.
