I bought them at Michaels on sale with a coupon. :)MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-50380841104020150782013-05-07T22:06:36.619-07:002013-05-07T22:06:36.619-07:00I consider myself to be pretty crafty, but I had a...I consider myself to be pretty crafty, but I had a really hard time making these flowers. I'm with Mothers Demand Action and told the ladies I would make some. I spent a few hours on it on Sunday before I left for LA. I felt utterly stupid. <br /><br />So if anyone wants to learn from my mistakes, here are some tips. Don't use really heavy paper or paper that is too light. I tried at first with really thick decorative scrapbook paper and it just wouldn't roll right. I then tried tissue paper. They looked way too thin and looked like pine-cones. When I get home on Friday, I'm trying again with just something like regular paper. Hopefully, that will work. <br /><br />Have fun making them and make sure to send in pixs. We love having them for Facebook, Twitter and our Web site. <br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.com
