This free workshop is all about easy, joyful crafting. If you’re brand new to paper flowers, this is the perfect beginner project to dip your scissors in. For example, we’ll guide you through every step of turning extra-fine crepe paper into delicate lavender sprigs. Additionally, we'll even teach you how to create double-sided crepe, or “laminated” paper, using fusible web. It’s a fun little skill that opens up a whole new world of craft possibilities!

This project works best when done by hand, so no fancy cutting machine is necessary. In fact, you'll need only your craft scissors, detail scissors, scalloped pinking shears, and a fringe clip to make those tiny, textured blossoms come alive. So, a quick curl here, and a dab of glue there — and you’ll be done before you know it. You’ll have a sweet potted bunch of Crepe Paper Lavender that looks inviting on a windowsill or to give away as a thoughtful present. As a twist, you can mist your petals with a little lavender oil so they smell just as good as they look.

Lavender and self-care have gone hand in hand for centuries. This calming little herb has long been used to soothe restless minds and encourage relaxation. I can’t think of a better way to capture that same spirit than with an afternoon What better way to capture that same spirit than with an afternoon of hands-on making. As you shape each sprig, you’re not only crafting — you’re giving yourself a break.  

So, gather your supplies, invite a few friends, and turn your creative escape into a self-care party. Besides, you absolutely deserve it. 

We’ll see you live on Thursday, July 3rd and we can’t wait. Remember to share your amazing work with the rest of our community or on social media with #MadeWithLia.
