This craft was a happy little accident. Don’t you just love those?! I wanted to create some crepe paper flowers, but I couldn’t find crepe paper ANYWHERE locally. And I didn’t feel like spending a ton of money or time to buy it online.

Then, I had an idea. Why not try making flowers out of dollar store streamers? They’re made of crepe paper and so inexpensive. I couldn’t do giant fluffy peonies like I had first envisioned due to the narrow width of the streamers, but I thought some pretty little roses would be the next best thing!

All you need to make these is a roll of crepe paper streamers, some wooden BBQ skewers (I also found these at the dollar store), some glue (I used Aileen’s Tacky Glue) and some (optional) green ribbon to cover the stem.
