Sunshine, sunshine, where for art thou Sunshine?
I really thought that we were in for a lovely run of sun but it seems no, we were teased with a rise of temperature and a glimpse, which was quickly replaced with the cold grey rain.
The Bostik Bloggers craft theme this month was Flowers and so we decided to really go for it and make a whole bunch. We used a variety of mediums, methods and Bostik sticky products – good old Blu Tack, the brilliant Glu Dots which are perfect for a quick fix and then the Fine and Wide Glu Pen that gives you a choice of applicators.
They all turned out much better than I could have hoped. I think the Hyacinth look quite impressive and so much easier to make than you would think.
Here’s a quick speed video of all of flowers in the making:
Now if I were to give you instructions for how to make each of the flowers in this one post, it would be a gigantic post and you would surely go cross eyed. For this reason, I have created a tutorial for each flower and within each individual photo tutorial post, is a much slower video, showing you what crafty bits you will need for each flower and how to make them.
We really hope you like them – it’s a great way to brighten up a corner in your home or to make as a gift for Mother’s Day or birthday’s.

We do hope that you like the flowers and get the opportunity to make them yourselves. Bear managed so well and if he had the stamina and patience, I think that he could have managed to make them with hardly any help.
Until next month,
Love
I love making crafty stuff. Your idea about how to make a bunch of paper flowers is fantastic! Most of the girls will try to make them give to their mom or sisters. Your result came out beautiful as well! Thanks for sharing this post 🙂
