Christmas Carnations

These crepe paper pink carnations will look beautiful in your home year-round, but we think they would be especially pretty to put out for the holiday season. Place a few flowers on their own in a vase, add them to a bouquet, or create a Christmas-inspired arrangement with some crepe paper pine needles. 

Skill level: Intermediate (using the white glue to attach the petal strips is a bit difficult with this flower)

Crafting tips: Be patient white adding the petal strips, and allow the glue to dry before adding the next petal set if it gets too mushy.
