Handmade Foam Flowers

Foam flowers

I do love to shop for craft supplies but somehow resist buying flowers for crafting as I keep thinking its more fun to make my own !!
When I tried making my own Cala lilies I found them surprisingly simple.The first ones I tried were paper ones you can see in this post : Pop up card tutorial.
The Cala lilies  on this project are handmade Foam flowers.

Made the bow using satin ribbon and Itsy Bitsy glitter paper strip.I jazzed up a metal-weed bicycle with pearls,plastic butterflies  and glitter and used it as a vase for my foam flowers
