This picture is of handmade crepe paper roses from Josephine's Journal !
I also went on Ebay and found two book on How to Make Crepe Paper Flowers published by Dennison Manufacturing Company one is from 1929 and the other 1948. Just received them today and there are directions for making beautiful flowers. Now I'm looking for the crepe paper and plan on making some pink roses! They will be the show and tell for another Pink Saturday.
Also found some crepe paper flower kits at Michaels that are made by Martha Stewart. They were on sale but I still paid way too much for them but at least I'll get to play this weekend. Bye for now, Esther
It's Saturday or should I say "PINK PINK PINK" Saturday! Thinking about what Pink I would share with you I decided everyone might enjoy the info I've been gathering on Crepe Paper Flowers. The February issue of "Romantic Homes" has an article on making crepe paper flowers. It mentioned to find patterns search the internet and I found alot more info than just patterns.
In the early 1900 women would make crepe paper roses, irises, sweet peas and morning glories several months before Memorial Day or Decoration Day, as it was called then, for the decoration of the family graves.
