paper flowers to dress up any package

as soon as i get my next burst of creative energy, i will be making these for all of my christmas gifts. these are made from old urban outfitters catalogs. i have been saving u.o. and anthro catalogs since last year after i discovered the valentine cards made by the girls at freepeople. here

these are cute too! these would be great hanging from the ceiling in different sizes on fishing line in a childs bedroom--

out of their reach of course!!

christmas trees made from magazines or books

last year we made about 10 of these. they were so pretty and easy it was addicting! i think they are an original martha stewart project, but easy enough for any average gal--! i also got spray adhesive and sprinkled mine with glitter. there is still glitter in my house as i went a little nuts with it!
