Summer Diary Day 17: Klutz Paper Flowers

Dear Summer Diary,

The girls & I were lucky enough to receive the latest Klutz book entitled "Fabulous Flowers" for review on our blog! 

We definitely liked that the book came with all but a few simple supplies that we already had around the house. (Scissors, nail clippers & a jar were all we needed!) Here is a sneak peek of two pages inside the book...

The book shows you how to make 8 different styles of flowers, & once you learn a few simple techniques, you can put your own spin on the flowers & mix-n-match how you wish! The book contains 26 pages of over 200 punch out pieces!

My 8 year old decided to make the larkspur. All the flower petals, parts & pieces are INSIDE the book & they're easy to punch out & put together! We loved the way the instructions tell us how to make them in easy step-by-step instructions. 

My 6 year old had trouble paying attention & following along with me. We both decided to make zinnias. At one point I looked over at her & saw this... (Thus the ever important 8+ book age recommendation!)

I think these flowers would look adorable attached to gifts & birthday packages, glued to clips for your hair, attached to a pin as a brooch, or strung up as a garland!

I am a fan of Klutz books & this one delivers for sure!! I even found a link in the back for a free mail order copy of The Klutz Catalog: klutz.com/catalog And, as usual, if you run out of supplies in your Klutz books, you can get more by visiting their website.

Click HERE for a teaser video to see some of the fab flowers you can create.

We'd like to share our summer fun with you & give 2 books away to 2 lucky blog fans!! Just leave a comment on this post & we'll choose 2 names this Friday afternoon, June 10th.
