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.
{ 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!
