Hello crafters, it’s been a while since I have done a crafting blog post, as part of the Pretty Paper Studio’s Design Team member, however, I am back and with a new theme for the month. It is the month of February and let’s admit it, you can’t escape the feeling of love everywhere. Be it at the florists with their blooming rose bouquets or even the donught stalls with the heart shaped donughts. Love is everywhere and that’s exactly the theme for this month.

Have you seen Pretty Paper Studio have recently stocked its online store with quite a few children’s art and craft products. These include chunky chalks, crayons, paints, Elmer’s Glow in the Dark glue and so much more. I was sent a few of these items in this month’s Design Team package and wondered how best to utilise these kid friendly products with the theme of Love. I just had to look around me and spot the blooming flowers along the roads of Dubai and the fresh bouquets at the malls everywhere at this time of the year. Flowers are an expression of love, and I thought why not create our very own paper flowering pot. A pot with hand crafted flowers that would forever be blooming and a pot that would be beautifully decorated by my daughter with love. Any ideas who will we be gifting the pot to?

Along with the children’s craft products, I have also used a variety of other products for this craft, including paper stock
by Prima Marketing in the Havana pattern and stickers
from the Pink Paislee Whimsical sticker collection. Both with beautiful floral patterns.  To read a detailed step by step tutorial on how Azmu and I created the Paper Flowering Pot , please click here and head over to the blog page on Pretty Paper Studio.
