Not trying to clutter inboxes, but I read this over the
weekend (while waiting through Charlotte’s First Reconciliation, fyi) and
thought it was pretty awesome for the holidays (at least for you crazy crafty
types…if you don’t have glitter in your house, no need to read further):
Poor Audrey remembers my first go at crepe paper flowers
(the enormous kind)…she and I were up to midnight finishing these babies up,
and then it took half a day to pack my car for this bridal shower in
Chicago:
But, this is just to say I have actually tried this (also
back in 2001 with a Martha by Mail kit…remember those days?) They are
pretty fun to make, and crepe paper is terrible gratifying stuff to work
with. The book is kookier (and smaller in scale) than these. If you
read this book, you will totally want to bust out the crepe (it has a great
section on supplies). So, I wanted to send it along incase you did want
to use your precious day off doing something totally odd like this J
I like https://www.castleintheair.biz/shoppe/?b=10&k=10&c=143
(doublette). Carte Fini (available through amazon) is good, but REALLY
thick (so it was a pain on the scale above, but may be fine for normal sized
flowers). Castle in the Air is full of amazing, hoardable supplies
that you will never need for anything.
PS: and back on my weird ability to remember magazine
editors: it was written by Rebecca Thuss, who had a really inspiring
wedding published in MSWeddings when she was an assistant editor (like, one of
the first weddings in the mag)—woman knows how to edit. She was later a
full editor (craft?) with a regular feature called “All About ___”. She
left to start her own company with her husband, a photographer).
