Paper Flower Pot Arrangement

August 3, 2011 by Holly Gagnon 23 Comments

     My dear neighbor  has been in the hospital for almost a month now due to a terminal illness.  Since she is physically unable to craft, she always loved to come over and see what I was working on.  I made this  Paper Flower Pot Arrangement for her to enjoy.

Flower Pot Centerpiece made with Cricut
{ This post contains affliate links}
I used the Cricut George and Basic Shape Cartridge to make the layered flowers.  The flowers were glued on to dowels which are stuck into foam.  I tore green tissue paper to look like grass and choose a matching ribbon to wrap around the flower pot.
A simple stamp sentiment let’s my friend know I’m thinking about her daily.

  Thanks for looking!
