I have often looked at the inside of envelopes that arrive in the mail thinking that the print inside is often too pretty to be hidden away and I only really use them as note paper. I had made some single Kusudama flowers a while back and had a thought that maybe I could make some Kusudama balls with the pretty envelope prints. I formed them around a wooden chopstick and they remind me of a hydrangea. The nights have cooled and I don't feel like sitting at the sewing machine in the evening, so sitting in bed making these flowers seems a warmer option.
What a wonderful idea. They look gorgeous.
ReplyDeletei love these. i've always wondered why the inside of envelopes are so pretty? you have totally given them the attention they deserve here.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! my friends and I made a lot of these with plans to use them on the tables at my wedding but they were forgotten on the day. this post has me thinking I might make some more.
ReplyDeletemaking them out of the insides of envelopes is a great idea!
Those are such beautiful flowers - what a great use of 'waste' paper! x
