A Summer Centerpiece: Paper Roses In A Festive Basket!

Paper Flowers Centerpiece in Basket

Need a casual summer centerpiece, or a bit of something new this season? Baskets, especially those with handles are perfect for holding flowers! I had some of my paper cabbage roses on hand, (tutorial here) as well as this Mexican basket, so this project came together in just a matter of minutes.

I’m sure you have some similar items hanging around your place that you could use too! And of course, real flowers would look gorgeous placed in a basket too. Just fill a large can or milk carton, or better yet, two,  with water and arrange your flowers so they fill the basket! And this is one arrangement that you can easily hang on the wall for a really great look!

    Oh, this is great! I want to use some of the paper I have been decorating to make some roses but had not got around to working out how. Now I will bookmark this and move that project up my list a little! Thanks so much for this great idea and all your others.
