"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty."
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Happy Banner & Coffee Filter Flowers

"Just a little reminder to "Bee HAPPY"
 
I got the download for the Happy tags from House of 3 I cut them out and added a crepe paper ruffle to the bottom, then punched holes at the top so I could string them up. I cut the bee out on my cricut and added some glitter to the wings and stamped it with swirls. the flowers on the string are smaller versions of the coffee filter flowers made with mini cupcake papers.


I absolutely adore these flowers made from coffee filters, click here for the video tutorial. I sprayed mine with my version of "glimmer mist" that I made myself with some powder dye from my daughters tie dye kit, mixed with some perfect pearls and water. I just put it all into a spray bottle and misted it onto the flowers. I love the way the colors came out and they have a shimmer too. I think I will hang them vertically on a ribbon, maybe glue them onto some dollies. Wow they put me in the mood for spring!



Check out this variation I made using cupcake papers. I hot glued them onto hair clips for the girls.
