Craft fail. Or at least I thought it was. Maybe it doesn't look quite so bad on the photograph.
I fell in love with the fabulous paper napkin wallflowers at Made this morning and immediately decided to give them a go...
...only somewhere in between "start to peel each layer of the flower up" and "you have a gorgeous over-sized flower", my craft mojo deserted me. If fact, my flower spent a good long while looking suspiciously like a crumpled, folded waste of four perfectly serviceable party napkins.
I think I made my folds too narrow, and the second and third ply of my napkins are white instead of the same colour as the top...and the dog ate my homework, honest Miss.
After much snipping and preening, (and an elastic band around the bottom to bunch the whole thing together), it finally resembles a flower - although it's more of a crazy, giant carnation than the elegant magnolia I had hoped for.
Bah.
