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!!
