The art of making paper flowers has come up considerably from the days of Kleenex pompoms.
Rebecca Thuss and Patrick Farrell, who make up the photography and design team Thuss and Farrell, share instructions for creating 75 paper flowers in their new book, Paper to Petal. Some are realistic, some are playful and some are artistic, but all have a character and handcrafted quality that set them apart from other artificial posies.
Thuss and Farrell provide instructions for making the flowers, along with plenty of photographic inspiration for using them to dress up a gift package, clutch in a bridal bouquet or just add a little cheer to a table.
Paper to Petal: 75 Whimsical Paper Flowers to Craft by Hand is published by Potter Craft and sells for $24.99 in hardcover.
