Fan Fold Flowers Gone Wild!

So maybe I've gone a little overboard with my favorite fan-fold flowers . . . I asked some Facebook friends for ideas for these flowers and got some great suggestions!  So I just started crafting to see how many I could make.  There's still a few more I want to try and make before I get over my obsession (like the blinged out frame, the hanging banners idea, for example) but, I thought I'd stop and share what I got done this past weekend.

First up, this little party bird.  Chick.  Whatever he/she is!  This was too fun.

The chick eggs were a dollar-store-find around Easter time.  I have a few extras... so I can dress them up for any occasion!  Wish I had done something in time for Graduation...can't you just see him with his grad cap and scroll?  LOL!  This was totally fun and as easy as it looks!







Just made a little cone hat for him, glued it on with E-6000 glue and added a flower topper.  Next I straightened out a paper clip, glued the flowers on it, then glued the stick to the back of his hand or wing or whatever that is that has 2 fingers! 










Here's the back, cute, eh? He made me smile.  He still  needs to be filled with something fun... more flowers (LOL!!)  Anyhow, gotta make more of them!  :) 







Next I made some bookpage markers and a container for therm.

These were fun to build and decorate.  Endless possibilities here -- almost any kind of embellishment can go in the center of them. You could add a magnet to the back of them and they are suddenly paper holders for the fridge! 

To make the container for them, I used a 2x2" box from this $1.00 pack of 3 little boxes I found at the dollar store awhile back.  (I must go get more!)  They made this such a fast and easy project to get done.  I could make tons of these sets all day, just please let me quit that day job!! 






Next this little altered can -- it's a shower gift for a shower that I am late to!

Actually, I knew I wasn't going to be able to attend (it was out of town) but I did want to send a gift, so I made this and I am going to fill it with small baby things, like a rattle and a rolled-up baby cloth or T's??  Not sure yet.  Plus a gift card - yeah, I still need to finish this idea with a gift card holder. I will take the photo and share again when I do get it completed.



And lastly -- for today...

I had the top of the box left over from the bookmark container  so I tried to make it into a little basket, but it didn't quite work out, but I thought I'd show it to you anyways.

Hee hee, not sure what I'll end up doing with this.  Probably be condemned to my "unfinished" drawer for life! 

I have a couple of more projects that I'll be blogging for you tomorrow.  My personal favorite is still to come!  Here's a sneak peak -- I hope you'll come back to see the rest of what I've been up to!!

TFL, I'm so glad you stopped by!
