Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, actually spending it recounting all you have to be thankful for and to Whom thanks is due.
We celebrated with friends including 6 Japanese college students (my first time topping off turkey and stuffing with a tiny mug of warm sake--like the pilgrims did no doubt.)
As a little thank-you gift for the host I made my own mini version of these paper flowers. I strung a black bead onto the floral wire as the center of each bloom and skipped the floral tape since I didn't have any around. And I used a dot of hot glue under each bead to hold it all together. The paper I used is vellum which I picked up a long time ago at Staples Office Supply. It's semi-translucent but thick enough to not be too fragile. The little "thank you" tag was a last-second add.
I LOVE some of the beautifully, intricate decorations people make with paper, such a cheap and readily-available medium.
