sweet paper’s windows are in full bloom
After being inspired by an image on pinterest (which for some strange reason I did not pin and cannot find now), I decided the store windows needed to be framed with tons and tons of beautiful flowers. I just had to figure out how to accomplish this… real flowers wouldn’t work, silk flowers would cost a pretty penny, hmmm…. being a stationery store and all, the only logical solution was to make a few (uh, I mean a couple hundred) paper flowers!!
Several people, lots and lots of paper, a boat load of glue sticks, burnt fingers, sore hands, more paper cuts than we care to recount, a few technical difficulties, one amazing mix tape compliments of Claudia at Fig 2. Design, an all-nighter and a month later our windows are finally installed!!
Our hard work paid off, I love them and I hope you do too! You’ll be able to enjoy them for some time as these babies are staying up for quite a while!
glass bulbs filled with paper flowers cascade down our window
a work in progress
A big shout out to Honestly, Kate, who was my partner in crime on this project, for all of her hard work, paper cuts, craftiness and patience. And a special thanks to Ashley and Guy from Ashley Elizabeth Floral Design and Styling for lending us their amazing wall of glass bulbs and spending a night making flowers with me.
Truely truely beautiful. And yes please, leave them up for as long as possible.
Wow, with those beautiful flowers I’m ready for some spring shopping at Sweet Paper
