Flower Sticks

Hello there crafters!

Today I have something a little different to show, some flower sticks ... or whatever you prefer to call them? I intend to have them as a decoration in my flower pots in our outdoor room (there is a roof over).

I made a collage of various vintage papers from my way too big stash and then die cut the flags using Lawn Fawn Stitched Party Banners. I added more clippings of butterflies and texts, I also stamped a sentiment from STAMPlorations Blooming Buds set. After that, I only put in barbecue wood sticks through the holes and then...ta da, they were finished!

That´s all from me today, thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit
