Paper Raffia Flowers

Today to church I was wearing lots of clothes on my body and feet

because there was a snow storm this morning.

I looked over at my friend and she had on really cute wedges and manicured toenails.

Yea, I was seething with jealousy.

I came home and I was in the mood for spring.

So I got out a little project that I started last summer,

and I made a bunch of paper raffia flowers.

These are super easy to make,

it will only take you a few minutes.

I got the hat and purse at Target last summer in their doller bins.

I think they were $2.50

The flower loom I ordered off of amazon, but I have seen them with the knitting stuff at craft stores.

The paper raffia is found in craft stores next to the wrapping paper.

These are so easy to make,

 I first saw them on Martha Stewart.

There are great instructions there and a video.

The video is way better then my explanation.

I put a bobby pin in them to hold them on my sun hat, shoes and hair.

I sewed them on the purse.

I may spend the evening putting these on all available surfaces.

Pillows, curtains, flip-flops, my children... Maybe I'll make some for all my neighbors too!

If only I lived in the 1920's I would fit right in with this look.

This is going to be fun!
