Take a look to see what\u2019s on stock for the moment.<br \/>I dedicate my time making paper flowers courses because so many of you wish to learn from me. This allows me to only take small custom orders like centerpieces for home decoration, small bouquets for gifts or flower wreaths. If you are interested in this type of order, let me know with a few months in advance all the specifics (types of flowers, size, colors, deadline and all other details that are important for you).<br \/>I used to make a lot of bridal bouquets but this type of order is very time consuming, so I decided to only make one or two bouquets a year. If you are interested in having a bridal bouquet made by me, let me know with many months in advance. Send me an email with the specifics and I will send a price offer.<br \/>Sometimes, I make recreation of real bouquets or wedding bouquets\u2026 so if you wish to hold your bridal bouquet one more time, for years to come, or you want to make your wife the most amazing anniversary gift, let me know. I take a limited amount of orders per year so contact me with many months in advance, even one year previous to the occasion.

You must keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture! One of the reasons I paint my paper with acrylics is that crepe paper colors fade very quickly because of the natural light. By painting it, not only I obtain the shade and details I aim for, but also, I make the paper more stronger and resistant  to light.  I also use a varnish spray with UV protection that will help the paper that isn\u2019t painted not to fade as much. If you find your flowers need dusting, giving them a gentle shake or just blow on them gently\u2026 that should be sufficient. You can also use a soft paint brush to get into the grooves of the paper.\nThe paper flowers I make are generally more resilient than they appear, but you must avoid storing flowers on their sides for long periods of time, and always keep them in a vase.\nKeep your flowers away from open flames.\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-19610\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"10\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-19610\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">10.

It may take a couple of hours or even one or two days, to make just one flower. You\u2019re paying not only for the material cost and workmanship, but for the hours of research and practice as well. You must know that I pay myself a moderate wage per hour so you can afford to buy my work. I don\u2019t factor the many additional hours I spend managing my business, arranging the order for proper shipping, shopping for supplies and so on. Last, I consider these flowers to be a work of art and the price should reflect that. If you buy, either a single stem, a centerpiece or a bridal bouquet, it\u2019s something that you will have in your home for many years to come.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-19611\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"11\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-19611\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">11.
