Carnations!

Now I know why I like making these paper flowers! They look like carnations! I love carnations,any color.
 A few years ago we needed blue carnations for a special event. None were to be found. So we made a batch of blue kool aid then dipped the stems in the mix and let them sit overnight and
Voila! We had blue carnations.

Now, I just make them myself from paper!
I saw a video on You Tube where she made them using magazine pages. There is a variety of color choices and because the paper is thin...they are easy to make. Its just another great way to recycle.
Here are a few that I  made using cardstock scraps. I love the teal!
