Cabinet Runner with Paper Flowers


These 2 large paper flowers were made from crepe paper. The paper had been kept for 20 years, and the years had turned its colour from white to yellowish white, which was the exact colour I wanted for the flowers. If it were white, the flowers would sort of 'disappear' into the white cabinet!

I used poster colour to add colour to the petals, and I painted the edges too. The petals were curled using a pencil. The flowers were about 12" in diameter.


 I made a peach colour runner to match the flowers.
