Paper Flower Bouquet

This was the most time consuming part of my project: 28 hours of work! A friend of mine (a musician) had a lot of sheet music she was going to throw away. Instead of recycling the paper and losing all of those beautiful notes, I thought I could do a lot better with it. I cut, folded and glued every flower petal by hand. Each flower was attached to a kebab toothpick, then inserted into the base of the bouquet (which was made out of oasis wrapped in foil). I made the handle out of chopsticks and ribbon.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink
