I have been crafting again and finished a crayon wreath which are all the rage in blog-land. Mine is going to my classroom to jazz up an empty door. I keep seeing all these cute flower rosettes to add a little spiff to these wreaths and I'm not going to lie... I can't get mine to look right! It seemed to easy to be true... So, after like 12 yards of fabric twirled up and a 1 inch flower, I decided to try a paper flower.
Now, any flower wouldn't do and I am in the school spirit - going back to teaching next week and starting another round of graduate school soon. The one thing I am never short of is research articles. Some are great and some are ... well ... not. I ended up punching them out with a paper punch and gluing them to a posterboard circle. I love the way they turned out! I used buttons to make the insides pop and curled the edges with a pencil.

I really love the way it turned out and the whole thing turned out for less than $5! Only the crayons and wreath form are new and the crayons were on sale for 25 cents at Kroger - woot woot!
