Rolled Paper Roses Tutorial

I love these little paper roses so much that I just had to share how to make them with you all.

They are so simple you can even get the kids to make them for you.  They are lovely when used to enhance wrapped gifts or greeting cards.  They can be made using any paper - newspaper, gift wrap, magazine pages - you name it - any type will do the job.

This batch are made using plain old colour print paper and just look how pretty they look.

See the photos below to check how it's done.

Plaquettes

I have been a busy bee for the last few weeks designing my lovely new vintage style Plaquettes. These beauties are mini wall plaques with a difference.  They are all handmade, unique and unusual and there are no two identical.  They are made using beautiful colours and designs combining découpage and various artistic techniques. They would make an impact in any room and would be great gifts for any occasion (don't forget mother's day on 15th March!).  The framed ones include a peg which allows the attachment of a photo of your choice if you wish but they are equally as nice just as they are.  There is no end to the colour and design choices that are possible in this range. Measurements approx. 20cm x 30cm in most cases.

Here are the first few and you will be delighted to hear that they are even nicer in reality than they appear in the pics below. Click on each photo to make bigger.
