Ok...I'm seeing glimmer mist and coffee filters to add some color to any project. What a great idea! You're really are so creative!

Thanks Rhonna! What an easy project! I've been playing with my HO3 Valentine printables. Blogged what I've done so far, now I need to pimp up my mini album and continue on to making my banner. Thanks for all the inspiration as always!

Great video. I will have to make some flowers with a little glimmer mist on them. What and where did you get the tray you had them in. It looked like a good thing to have handy.

My 5 year old won't let me watch this!!! She heard the sunshine song (now my fav, especially her version) and I have to rewind.
Hope to watch when she is busy during reading time. LOL.

Wow, what a cute idea, and so affordable. Thanks for sharing. My aunt and uncle are in a nursing home, and I plan to decorate their room with these. They will love telling everyone what these beautiful flowers are made out of.
