Crepe paper flowers

After recently hunting high and low for decent silk flowers and discovering the ridiculous cost for a single stem, my sights have turned towards making crepe paper flowers.

 

Crepe paper is an affordable alternative for making your own paper flowers, and you can create wonderful whimsical flower displays for very little cost - if you have some time to spare. And,  whereas fresh flowers will wilt in a week, crepe paper flowers can look fresh and vibrant for up to 6 months.
