This beautiful home decor item was very easy and fun to make! Make your own paper flowers to create a gorgeous floral topiary.
First I painted a 3 inch candlestick with crackle paint to give it an aged look.
Then I cut out my flowers using a shape from silhouette. Making the flowers was the most time consuming part of the process! You could also use premade flowers to speed things up.
I misted the paper lightly with water so I could use the toothpick to curl the petals.
This was just the beginning! I made approximately 60 flowers.
When I was done I glued the styrofoam ball onto the candlestick,
then I began to glue the flowers onto the ball.
I think these would make darling centerpieces, too!
Thanks for looking! If you like this tutorial, you might also enjoy some of my other flower tutorials!

I love this! I totally thought they were fabric flowers at first, but I adore that they are paper. Lovely!

What flower in silhouette is it? Can you tell me how you made the flowers. Im new to crafting and woukd love to make this.
I’ll have to look up the file name for you…it’s one of their 3D shapes. Maybe a video tutorial or Google Hangout would make it easier to show how I rolled them?
