This week has been a little dull and gloomy and rainy!!  Summer is just around the corner and yet so far we have only been teased with a few lovely warm days. So this week I decided I needed to do some bright and summery crafting!

I was having a sneaky stroll around Hobbycraft the other day (always a little dangerous for my bank account!) and came across some lovely wooden box letters. I instantly felt compelled to fill them with little tissue paper pompom flowers.

First up I selected my colour scheme in tissue paper before cutting out multiple different sized circular shapes. I made sure there were at least 6 layers to each circle of tissue paper. I then stapled the centre of each pile of circles. To make different styles of flowers, I cut varying shapes around the edges, for example spiky edges.

Then carefully, I peeled up each layer of tissue paper and scrunched each piece up in the centre of the flower.

Using a print stick I stuck the flowers down inside the box letter having arranged them all to work out a pattern/make sure they all fitted in.

And then all that’s left to do is find a home for your lovely summery decoration!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend,

All my love,

God Bless,
