earTHly #Thursday- Paper Flower Escort Cards
Nella from www.lostmykitty.etsy.com has generously shared more of her creative DIY wisdom in the form of these delicate paper flowers to use as escort cards or name settings.
They are such a pretty decoration (and no flowers were killed in the making of this blog post, lol)
And over to Nella....
What you will need:
- Craft paper 4” square
- Fabric leaves 2”
- Skeleton Leaves 2”
- Adhesive Glue
- Scissors
- Needle and Thread
Step 1: Draw a spiral on a 4 inch square. I’ve used 90 weight paper purchased at Jarrold’s though regular coloured craft paper would work equally well.
Step 2: Cut out the spiral along the lines you’ve drawn. If you’re really clever, cut out the spiral freehand. It will keep you from hunting down an eraser as I forced my husband to do for me. 
Step 3: Roll the spiral from the outside. 
Step 4: Use a spot of adhesive to glue the body of the flower onto the round bit left. 
Now you’re finished with the flower! 
Step 5: Use a pencil to faintly write your guests’ names in a pretty cursive. I’ve used pen for emphasis and don’t forget the table number for escort cards. 
Step 7: Attach the skeleton leaf and your personalised leaf to the flower. 
Martha Stewart may be able to make 100 of these in 15 minutes but for us mere mortals make a party of it with a bottle of champagne and a few friends – nothing like the promise of food and a mimosa to corale some slave labour - or you can always contact me through Etsy (Nella, www.lostmykitty.etsy.com).
