I have this little area in my kitchen that I love to change out for the seasons.
From Summer {Summer Mini Gallery Wall}:
To Halloween {Creepy Specimen Art}:
To Winter {Snowflake Specimen Art}:
And I thought it would be fun to make some paper flowers to use as Spring Specimen Art!!
Here’s how to make it:
I used Ikea Ribba frames, scrapbook paper including Canvas Corp Chevron paper, vintage buttons and Command Sticky Nail Sawtooth Hangers and Command Picture Hanging Strips.
To make the flowers:
- I downloaded the 3-d Loopy Flower template from the Silhouette online store. I used my Cameo machine to cut out the pattern for each flower. But if you don’t have a craft cutter, you can make rectangular shapes, fold them in half and then cut lines through the middle of the rectangle.
- Then I took the coordinating piece of paper and wrapped it around a pencil, securing the end with hot glue.
- I attached the rolled up paper to the edge of the rectangle and used a pencil to curve the rectangle in half, instead of folding it.
- I wrapped the folded rectangle around the rolled paper until it was all folded up and secured that with hot glue.
- Then I pressed down on the top of each flower, spreading out the cut paper to make petals.
- The last thing I did was add a vintage button over the top of the rolled paper, covering it up. Then I flipped the whole thing over, holding onto the button and filled the bottom with hot glue, securing the button to the top of the flower.
I was thrilled to be contacted by Command Brand to make some projects for them last month. I had so much fun coming up with fun ideas using Command Brand products. I had never used Command Sticky Nail Sawtooth Hangers before. They ended up being one of my favorite Command Brand products. I used them in this project. I am SO excited to share all of the projects with you soon!!
It was fun finding vintage button to use for each flower. I found this bottle of buttons at a garage sale a couple of years ago.
I love that Command Brand products let me be creative with my decorating without putting holes in my walls.
Happy Monday!!

I read this post this morning and made my own right away! Thanks so much for the idea! I was looking for something to replace a St. Patrick’s Day wreath that I hadn’t taken down yet (I KNOW!) and this was perfect! Even better- I had all the supplies I needed in my garage, including a frame that I loved but had no use for. Now I get to enjoy it every day!
Thank you so much!!!!
