How to Make Easy Christmas Tree Ornaments

Hi Everyone!!   Here is an easy project for making Christmas Tree Ornaments.  All I used was simple spiral rose, wired ribbon, gold string, hot glue, and flat back acrylic beads which are optional to use especially if your ribbon is already decorative.

Handmade Red Paper Roses

Hi Everyone!

More Flowers!  I'm having a ball making these.  I have some red and pink flowers to share today.
As I make more of them, I will upload pictures about them.  Making flowers saves money.  We can make flowers as gifts for pennies on the dollar.  When it comes to saving money, you just can't go wrong there.

Happy Crafting and God bless, Chan

Handmade Yellow Paper Roses



Hi Everyone! 

These are some handmade yellow paper roses I recently made.  I used yellow typing paper and made spiral roses.  Then I distressed each rose with white paint.  I made cone stem to put the flower on and added green organza ribbon for added decoration.  I wrapped the flowers in white tissue paper and placed them into a handmade bag. I think I will make a matching card to go along with this also.  

Happy Crafting, Chan

how to make paper hyacinths









Start rolling the stem.  Here I am using a wooden skewer to help with this process.  
Take the 2 x 3 inch piece of green paper and fold in accordion style the long way.  
It should look something like this when you're done folding.
put the accordion piece back together.

Take scissors and cut one side diagonal to form a point.  

Flip it over and cut the other side the same way.

You should have this when you are done.
Time to make the flower.  Take the colored paper and fold one edge down by 1/4 inch
Open the fold up so that you can see the crease, then fold it in half the other way as shown here.
Cut 1/4 inch strips across the paper.  Be sure not to go pass the crease at the upper edge.  
Take the cotton swab and roll each of the strips up to the crease.
Turn the paper so the curls are facing down.  Then add tacky glue down the side as seen here.
Wrap the flower around the stem as shown here. Make sure the curls are point up.  

Take the leaves and put glue on them as shown here.
Glue leaves to the stem.
