For me, Summertime means gardening and enjoying lots of flowers. But you don’t need a green thumb to enjoy pretty blooms, because you can easily make faux flowers!
I have a Pinterest board devoted to Faux Flowers, with 297 different tutorials to make your own flowers out of crepe paper, duct tape, book pages, burlap, fabric, lace doilies… you get the idea!
To start off, here’s Tammy’s own lovely Shabby Flower tutorial:
