    Clever uses of unexpected materials.
    I've seen some cute rick-rack flowers, but have not tried that technique yet. I tend to stick with fabric.

    The egg carton flowers are very pretty! I saw some fun duct tape flowers when I was at the doctor the other day.

    My 11 y/o cousin makes awesome tape flowers. I'll have to get her to teach me sometime!

    They're all cool, wonder what happens to the orange peels.

    The only weird thing I used was beer bottlecaps for magnets or pendants.

    We just posted my daughter's duct tape flowers on Monday. =0)
    I want to try those egg carton flowers - so fun! And the orange peel flowers would make a great table centerpiece.
    Thanks, Valerie! Happy Friday to you.
