DIY Paper Flower Wall

These flowers are stenciled, sewn, stuffed and hung to make me, and you, super happy! The stuffed flowers give the whole piece a cool sculptural feel even though its simply paint on paper. I added this DIY paper flower wall to Allie’s bedroom while she was at camp today. The painting is super fun and its an inexpensive material to practice using the sewing machine.

Don’t soak the pouncer with paint, it should barely be sponging on as you go, otherwise it will sneak under those edges. Leave a little room around each one to have space to cut and sew for the final product. :: Once the pieces are dry, cut out each one with a few inch margin around each flower (or whatever shape you’re doing). :: Use tissue paper and something long and skinny (chopstick, pen, etc) to help stuff the shape.

:: Tie each puffed piece to a length of scrap yarn in your desired layout. To check out the fabulous team of bloggers working for Martha Stewart Crafts, go look at the Instagram hashtag for all sorts of lovely projects!
