(Apologises for photos not being the right way up. Was uploaded by phone!)

Anyway, what do you think to the handmade flowers I made last night using harry potter pages. Im a huge fan of potter and wanted to incorporate it into my wedding :)

Im hoping to have em made and finished soon and boxed up so no dust and concentrate on my wedding dress design. Have been told by a dressmaker it wont cost much!!! Eeek cant wait.

Just waiting to shift a bit more weight before looking for bargain red dresses before changing the skirt bit off the dress!! (Photos in album)

I've put pics in for u Naomi :-)

Nami, theyre lovely!

oooh they're lovely Naomi!! :-) like your dress design too!! xxx

Pop the link on your wall Naomi x

i have made absolutely 100's of these kusudama flowers in the past month, been training the daughter to make them too lol. I've been using floristry wire and a button to secure them but its not working brilliantly. Think ill stick to using cheap chop sticks xx
(not my pics)

~Oooh good idea with the pipe cleaners, ill get some next time im at the warehouse, only reason i use chop sticks is so they push into styrofoam balls easier. I've been using double sided sticky dots. First used glue and loads of paperclips but it took forever! Im seriously considering using these in bridesmaids flowers. I love the look of these

They're amazing ! How do you make those ? xxx

Oohh Ok Mrs2be83 I think you will be fine as July is meant to be hot lovely summer wedding its just NaomiH wedding in December and you never know what the weather will bring next if it will behave if it will snow hail or rain and may ruin her beautiful flowers which I would'nt want to happen they do sound sturdy =D ♥ X

Im getting married in malta where it very rarely rains. If so. Ill be using spray varnish x

Wow, very lucky, getting married in malta! xxx

They are soooo easy. What makes it easier is having the correct equipment, I would def recommend double sided tape!! Xx

They look fairly easy to do and the end result looks amazing!! xxx

how are you all making these?! LOL! Someone post some instructions haha!

Kusudama flowers origami is what I searched for. Theres lots of tutorials and very easy to follow xx

they're lovely, I wish I had the patience to make them x

wow just had a look at a tutorial soo simple yet soooo pretty!!! definitely going to making a few of these!!

Has anybody had any real sucess with these? I tried making them but when I put them together (using wire and diamonte button) the bottoms just seemed to fall apart :( I also can't get them to go into polystirene ball never mind trying to make a bouquet out of them....I'd really wanted to make these too

Wow, theses are amazing!!! so creative hun!
xx

I've been thinking about making my own paper roses bouquet for ages then a found someone to make them but they are a bit out of budget now, so thinking about getting my girls over and us trying to make them ourselves then making them into a bouquets. I found quite a few different doctor who novels online so may buy a cheap rubbishy book in a charity shop and have a go at making a few and see how they come out, then if succesful buy some doctor who ones to make the real thing. you can see in my album what I want to try and recreate!

First attempt:

Just made one out of magazine pages lol, so easy woop how exciting :D

They all look so lovely; well done girls :)

I was wondering this. What have you attached them to? I've seen a few tutorials that use floristry stems so I'm gonna go with them when I get around to that part.

Started my actual bouquet, my first flowers were waaay to big though lol, so I might try to make them into flower girl wands or summat lol, I've decided 3'' is about right any smaller is getting too fiddly

Still dunno how I'm gunna make stems mind..... Watch this space haha
