giant italian crepe paper peony

This is my favorite craft to date!  I swoon over peonies, and can't get over their beauty, so I was elated to make a BIG paper one to hang in my studio!  Here is a link to the site where I purchased my crepe paper, http://cartefini.myshopify.com and here is their blog, which has a full tutorial that I followed, crepe paper peony!  I can't wait to venture off from the tutorial and use my imagination to make other things out of crepe paper big and small!  It is a little spendy, I think this flower costed about $30 to make, but it is a piece of art.  I hope ya'll go make one!  Creating beauty is what life is all about, I find such joy in doing so.
p.s how cute is the Madewell shirt I found at the thrift store for $4?!

  2. I love this! I went to the blog post and it looks like they took the tutorial down. Would you by chance have a copy of the tutorial you can send me? I would love to make these for my wedding backdrop.
