This tutorial inspired me on two things. First is to cover a piece of Styrofoam with fabric and use that as a helper in my prickly projects. The second is to use leftovers of gift-wrapping paper to create clustered flowers as part of décor for the wrapped packages.

I was just browsing a FB page that I joined and I felt the need to come and leave you a note. I have noticed while viewing these shared pages that so many people are over the top with added bling that they purchase. I am fairly new to junk journaling and am older and on a fixed income so I don't have the budget to purchase all those "extras". I save up so I can get the hole punch or the corner trimmer and find items at thrift shops and around the house. All that said, I cannot express how much I appreciate YOU and what you share because you also do so much upcycling and everything you do is beautiful! Thank you so much for your inspiration and all of the sharing that you do it means so much to me. I try every single one of your new creations and will soon have some of these nifty flowers in my journals. THANK YOU! You win the "Best Instructor" award from me!! <3

Don’t forget using your creations to embellish handmade greeting cards.

Natasa, you are one of the best instructors out there! Thank you for sharing all your brilliant ideas with us!

Im sitting here with my morning tea, ripping my newspaper into strips trying to make these. Not as easy as you make it look. ❤ I may god through the entire paper, but I will get this😊

I like the flowers even though I am not a flowery person but I thought your envelopes into signatures was BRILLIANT!!!

[@StandUpForChildrenToday]

Love the flowers 😍 at first I was trying to fold from the side you showed and it just did not work for me. I got really frustrated and almost gave up. Then I tried from the left to right and I was flying 😀! Im right handed so I guess that might be the reason why I couldn't do it from the other side, but I might be wrong. Anyway, I have many absolutely stunning flowers now. Thank you so much for this tutorial 😊💖

These flowers are so great I had to put you on pause and make some. Since you said flimsy is good, I decided to use strips from a mail-order catalogue. Just about as flimsy as you can get! I wanted the "petals" to be jagged so I used my biggest zigzag edged scissors to cut the strips instead of just tearing them as I first tried. The results were super! The colors were varied but coordinated from the ads in the catalogue. The strips were long enough to make a complete tiny flower so I just added a couple of strips from the same ad together to make a bigger flower. I will have to find another storage box for these because I've already made 6 and your video is still playing. This idea ROCKS!!!!!

Oooo, you could make butterflies. Okay, let's stick to flowers. LOL I love it.

I used to be a quilter. I bet if you look up making yo-yo’s of French heirloom sewing they show you with fabric? Could transfer idea to paper. Thank you so much for this beautiful video!

[@lunajen8970]

Hah! I was ready! What are the odds... I had cut out a lot of strips to made beads and they just weren't coming out right, and here I saw I can use the strips to make these! This is going to be fun, thank you ❤

[@PennysCraftyCreations]

Thank you for sharing these. They are absolutely gorgeous. I can see how you could get carried away with creating them.

[@richardmendoza4389]

Absolutely shabby stunning! So much variety it makes my head hurt. I'm beginning to love being lost in your mad scientist mind. Respect!

[@normablake2748]

I just watched your faux rice paper tutorial and I think it would look great cut into strips and made into these flowers as well.

[@lateciamadethis]

I wish that I could give this 6 thumbs up! Such an adorable idea for using those strips that are too abundant to discard without guilt.

[@medawson01]

I just made five of these flowers for a junk journal I am making. I am going down your list of ephemera for junk journals, and I am making several of them. Thank you for the tutorials.

[@gladysward6969]

Very fun tutorial! Like all your examples, and the one with the paperclip is such a good idea. My favorite is the journal page with several flowers! Thank you so much! 🌺

[@medicineheartds9631]

That's a fun and easy craft. Children could do a simple version of these. Thank you so much. I enjoyed your tutorial a great deal.

[@debk1915]

“The possibilities are endless!!” Indeed!!! Thank you for another fun and inspiring video, Natasa! These are great!

[@Nancy0162]

Love these rosettes! You don't need any special metal die cuts to create these rosettes. Very creative using styrofoam and pinning them down idea!!! 💡👏👏👏 This is why I so enjoy your channel! You are so creative and explain each project so well. Tfs! 💗😊
