Take a look at this easy way to make gorgeous flowers from maple leaves.
I found a Russian site, Lobzik with an amazing picture tutorial on how to fold and roll the large leaves into surprisingly beautiful bouquets of “blooms”.
I would think you could use any large leaf for this, but since it’s Winter here, we’ll have to wait to test it out until at least October.
If you’re in the Northern hemisphere, please have a try and let me know how your results turn out.
that is just a wonderful centerpiece!!
thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday!

Jane, this is a great project. I love your website. I have 3 kids, the twins (age 12) would still love to do crafty projects with me so I think I will get many great ideas from you. Thanks for coming my way and taking the time to comment. I really do appreciate it!
You are so creative. What a fun mom you are! Thank you, I’ll bookmark this for sure!
How about If I just mail you some big leaves? I don’t think I’m that patient. I mean, I can make two cakes a year, but that’s about my limit.
Your blog is looking great!
