Trending: Crafting Paper Flowers

When it's winter and you want to be inspired with a bit of a hygge experience. Gather some friends around for crafternoon day. We can't tell you how much joy it is to reconnect with a few friends around, putting on that crock pot and filling the space with the scent of mulled wine, tasting sized dishes from everyone bring a plate along and the fun conversations to be had whilst being creative.

This crafternoon theme is inspired with the trends being seen with paper flower  making overseas.

Once you have created all the paper flowers you need, then comes the fun part and you can arrange them creativly into a vase. Here, we have styled the paper flowers in our Resident Planter and used our Ceramic Flat Frog to help the paper flowers stay in place.

AND if you want to be a bit extra, create yourself a beautiful tablecape using your newly crafted paper flowers as your featured piece on the table.
