yellow wednesday march 4 2026 some paper bouquets it s march and until i can have some real flowers i thought i d share these little bouquets of paper flowers that i ve made down through the years you can see the first one i made here in 2019 all of my bouquets were constructed using crafter s edge beautiful succulents dies designed by tammy tutterow with button centers the tiny flowers surrounding each button are from a pti daisy die and the leaves from a tt posey flowers 4 set all of these are long retired but with the selection of dies we all own it would be easy to make something very similar after constructing the blossoms i threaded a long length of floral wire down through the buttons and the flower then twisted it together tightly and wrapped it with floral tape for the stems adding a leaf with a glue dot to each flower this first one was plopped into a little glass cruet i added a silk bow and a little metal disk also designed by tammy that says made with love i made this one in shades of aquas to brighten a tiny bathroom it s sitting in a canning jar filled with buttons to match and finally one with a pink gingham bow and another of tammy s disks these little arrangements are now scattered around the house and my mom and sisters each received a similar bouquet as gifts i hope these may inspire you to make something similar please share it with me if you do
