Fun with flowers, recycling them

One of the items I bought at a rummage sale on Saturday was a hand bouquet of pink and white flowers. They were stuffed into green floral foam and then put into a white plastic posey holder (don't know what else to call it). I think it was a bridesmaid bouquet from the 50's. I wish I had taken a before pic of it, but didn't. What was I thinking??!! Anyway, here are the flowers I have put together from the bouquet. I removed all the plastic stems and pieces that held the flowers in place in the bouquet. Must say I like these better!


Aren't they pretty??
This last flower is made of a text page. Lots of circles, gradually smaller, then held together in the center with an eyelet. Then dipped in glue and over to gold glitter! Pretty!!
