DIY Paper Poppies

Here's another DIY paper tutorial that you can do even with your eyes closed! Kidding... you need to do this with your eyes open. ^_^ Here are the very cute and easy to make Paper Poppies...

Thanks Chiqui for the help!

Things you'll need:
colored copy paper (80 gsm)
scissors
glue
tie wire
colored pencils/pens

get your colored copy paper. i used baby pink.

cut the paper. i decided to have 2x3 cut-outs.

fold the paper 3 times until it is cone-like in shape.

cut the tip of the paper in half-oval shape (or however you like it).

unfold the paper and cut one part of it.

use three shades of colored pencil to create an effect at the center of the paper poppy.

put glue on the 7th petal

insert the tie wire at the center and overlap the 6th and 7th (with glue) petals. hold it for a few seconds.

hello there pretty paper poppy!!

hope you'll like them! ^_^

Blue-walled Room

One Sunday afternoon, I got tired of watching tv.. Then I decided to paint my bedroom wall!  Staying in and watching tv on weekends will never be that boring again. Yay!!

"Sleeps with Butterflies"

I have been raping the replay button on youtube for Tori's song: Sleeps With Butterflies. One great piece of art, both the song and the video. I then decided to make my own version out of it. :)

"white poppies"

I told my sister that I am about to send a painting to my boss' wife. So the jealous sister also wanted me to make one for her. Good thing the boss agreed to send the piece to my sister. ^_^ Great boss!

"poppy garden"

I am now working from home. And my boss' wife saw my flickr profile and she said she loved my paintings so much. So she asked me if I can make one for her since her niece from Cebu is going to LA soon.

"flowers for you"

 This is the very first painting I made. I made it because I dropped my camera and I broke it. This is my peace offering. (ouch)
