Easy Cardboard Flower Ornament
When I purchased a bunch of blackout fabric, it came on a big thick tube. It seemed like a waste to throw it out, so here's what I did!
I cut the tube into a bunch of pieces that were 3/4" wide. You could probably use a handsaw, but I used a miter saw.
Then I grabbed a thick hardback book, and flattened the circle with the book.
This made a nice petal shape.
Once I had five petals, I glued them together. I used binder clips to hold everything steady while the glue dried.
I spray painted a couple at this point, but I actually liked the cardboard better, so that's what I went with. It's worth experimenting to see what you like best!
Once I tied some twine to the flower for hanging, it was done! I love how it turned out, and it was super easy to make! If you like it too, or think you might make your own, take a look at the full blog post!

Very cute! I love the country look. You could also put a sprig of faux foliage and a tiny pinecone or some faux holly berries. Keeping this one in my plan book for sure!
