Reasons to make Paper Flower Creations:

There are so many times that Paper Flowers are perfect for our lives. They are the only flowers that are truly perennial!! They will last forever. Think of the following occasions where Paper Flowers would be ideal:
          Birthday Gifts [for the person who has everything]
          Anniversary [recreate the couples wedding flowers]
          Bridal Shower [great for decorations or a group activity at the Shower]
          Wedding & Prom Bouquets [excellent value  to achieve the look you desire & is prepared in advance]
          Baby Shower [so unusual, from decorations to giveaways for guests]
          Party Favors [this unusual art form is the perfect keepsake]
         Centerpiece Arrangements [stunning idea that will decorate your table with an unusual treatment]
         Boutonnieres [beautiful & durable paper flowers that will last the test of time]
          Get-Well Arrangements [so perfect for a hospital setting, allergy-free and no need to water]
          Nursing Home Residents [ideal gift for the person who appreciates beauty with no fuss]
          New Home Greetings [an excellent gift to incorporate style and color into a new home]
          Corporate Gifts [a welcome and unusual gift that has the ability to stand out against the norm]

Thinking of taking a class... here are a few ideas:

1 - Schedule a class for yourself or with a friend or two... just call to arrange a time. We have a flexible schedule and will do our best to accommodate your time challenges. Plan a morning, afternoon or evening class. [Limit 5 Guests.]
2 - Give a class as a 'Unique Gift' for that special someone!
3 - Maybe a 'Girl's Night Out' is what you need... or perhaps and 'Afternoon Away'? 
4 - Schedule a 'Corporate Event' for Co-Workers. Great news... a fun way to Virtually gather and do a project.
5 - Enjoy some 'Mother & Daughter' time! Making Paper Flowers is an excellent counterpoint to shopping!
6 - Organize a 'Sisters Get Together' and appreciate your shared love of projects.
7 - Gather some 'New Neighbors' for some fun time getting to know one another!
8 - Experience a 'Multi-Generational' get-together with Grandmother, Daughters & Granddaughters.
​9 - Consider a 'Teen Birthday Party'... a great way to build art, color & design skills in a shared experience.
10 - How about connecting with a friend for the 'PERFECT Birthday GIFT'?
11 - Creating Paper Flowers for an occasion of 'Sympathy or Loss' is the purest form of giving your love to someone.
12 - Why not 'Just Because'? Because it is Creative! Because it is Fun! Because it is Healing!
