Peonies in Spring


They almost look real in this picture.

Today we made some beautiful flowers to decorate our table for spring from some random tissue paper that came with something we ordered.

We used food coloring and water (and a hair dryer to speed the process for the impatient) to tint some of them a pale pink.

I think her favorite part of the whole craft was when we spritzed them with perfume and put them in re-purposed jar with some decorative stones. During the folding part I just kept hearing "I think this is kind of boring", but she was exceedingly pleased with the final product.
