Paper Flower Crafting - Wicker Hearts


I have recently discovered a new craft that for one is so simple and quick to do but also creates inexpensive pieces that really make you smile. I took a little trip to Hobbycraft the other week and spotted a quick tip guide, which are the little A5 leaflets with craft projects on them, on how to make a rose covered heart. I liked the idea of this one but the idea they had was very full on. So I found this wicker heart in the wedding inspired aisle and the paper flowers nearby and thought I could give it my own interpretation and this is what I came up with! Honestly this took me maybe ten minutes to do and looks so fab considering the lack of time. The whole project cost less than five pounds and I still had flowers left over as well as a whole load of ribbon. So you can make several projects from the little bunches of flowers easily. 
I luckily had a 25% off voucher for Hobbycraft so I went again today and picked up two more hearts and a larger one to make a Mother's Day present and then some more of these sized ones as I love them so much!! If anyone would be interested In a step by step post let me know :D
