Our friend's wedding will be held soon, and so as a supportive friend, we offer our help.
One thing she assigned us to do is a backdrop for her photo booth.
For its design, she wants us to make handmade paper flowers.
Day 1
This Thursday, we started making it.
We gathered our supplies: colorful sheets of paper, scissors, and glue.
And because this is our first time crafting paper flowers, we searched online for tips and techniques on how to do it.
After watching it, we created a variety of flowers.
Some resembling roses, others resembling ranunculus.
I crafted a particularly lovely blossom, with curled petals.
Each flower was bright and full of life.
After admiring our handiwork, we realized we had worked up quite an appetite.
And so we settled on a turon (banana lumpia) and a coffee.
We set the snacks with our paper flowers nearby.
We nibbled, exchanged stories, and chuckled over our crafting mishaps.
As we finished our snack, we dived back into our crafting project.
While we began cutting and shaping the petals, a baby arrived.
It was my cousin Shantil!
Her bright eyes sparkled with curiosity. And she's intrigued by the colors and materials.
With her tiny fingers, she grabs the colorful papers. And so we decided to let her have a go. HAHA
We then continued to work together, creating and crafting flowers.
And soon the chair was scattered with our colorful creations.
The outcome was incredibly cute and perfect.
Each piece was made because of our teamwork, creativity, and the boundless joy of collaboration.
Day 2
We hadn't finished our handmade paper flowers in just one day, so we were determined to complete them on Day 2.
We had spent hours cutting out intricate petals, shaping them into delicate curves, and assembling the flowers.
We also dab a glue on a gentle curl of a petal.
With each passing minute, our flowers began to take shape.
We chatted and laughed as we worked, enjoying each other's company.
Before long, our chairs and tables were filled with an array of vibrant, handmade paper flowers.
We admire our creations, beaming with pride.
Look at how beautiful they turned out!
We will soon arrange them in the photo booth backdrop.
As of now, we feel a sense of accomplishment with our project complete.
The experience had been just as valuable as the end result.
Until our next creativity and teamwork... Buh-bye. 👋💗
