It's finally here!! I've finally done it, yay!! My recent videos have been somewhat of a struggle to finish with me not feeling so great recently but now I'm nothing but super excited about actually using these =)
I know there are a zillion billion flower-making tutorials out there, but I thought I would add mine to the mix and show how you don't need any special supplies to make funky flowers. No, they don't look like Prima, but I really want to help push new way of thinking for creativity - unique and arty is good! handmade-looking things are good! things do NOT need to look like they were brought from a craft store to be 'acceptable'! Messy, junky, scrappy are all *GOOD*, plus they make you happy to look at =)
I will make a video on how I make the stems, leaves & this quick recycled vase for the, but for now here's the how-to for these funky, scrappy, arty flowers:
Hope you use up some of your junk and give them a try, thanks for stopping by =) Jennibellie xx
You are crazy cute..LOL. I would be excited too Jennie...because those flowers are awesome! I hope the flowers that I'm going to attempt come out as adorable as yours. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
These flowers are awesome! And it will be so much fun to make! Thanks so much for all the effort you put into your tutorials and sharing your creativity!! I would love to see how you would use these on a journal page! :-)
As always, it is fantastic! Whenever i watch your tutorials, i experience these stages --- a) at the beginning, the idea seems common; b) then you are on step 2 and you introduce the 'jennibellie factor' and voila! everything turns into something extraordinary. thank you for sharing!

Alpha Shanahan is exactly right. Once you add the Jenni fabulous factor, everything you do is just awesome. You are the most amazing artist. You don't even have to worry about being copied, because no one else has the JenniFabulous-ness. I love all your videos. The problem is, I have to jump up from the computer and run out to my art room and do something artsy right away. That is not a "problem" for me, but it is if my husband wants dinner that night.
These are brilliant. Wait until my daughter sees this. At 9 years old she loves making anything. We saw your Travel Art journal kit and we have both put our own togehter to take away with us at Christmas. She as even put together her own journal to add to on the trip. xx
Thanks Jennibellie! After watching your button-making video, I tried my hand at it. Glad I did after checking the prices of buttons!!! Now I can use them on my attempt to make paper flowers!
You are a very inspiring woman. I thank you. For sharing all of your art and techniques and also sharing some of your own life research of products. Just reaffirmed a lot of ideas I have had in my head for years.
ooo soo disappointed jenny coz cant find the video ... love making flowers and would like to see how you made your lovely ones ... please can you let me know where the video is ... happy crfating and love sandy xx
Hi Sandy, it is actually in the body of this blogpost (at the bottom), though perhaps your browser isn't letting you see it for some reason - if so please follow the 'youtube' link via the buttons I have on the top of right hand side column of this blog and watch it on my YT channel directly (searching is easy, either enter 'flowers' with the search facility on my channel or switch the order on the videos page to 'most viewed' and it'll come up first) hope that helps
LOVE LOVE LOVE these flowers...I made them with my neighbor today and she loves them too. Can you tell me what brand of white paint pen you use? I haven't had much luck with white paint/gel pens...it seems I buy one, use it, and by the next time I go to use it just doesn't want to write. Thanks so much for such an inspirational video...Oh, and we made the buttons too...LUV them!!! Thank you sooooo much for sharing! :)
I used the recycled flower and button tutorials to create Jelly Belly bags for Easter last year. I matched the Jelly beans to the color of the paper used.
wow the recycled paper flowers are amazing!! just saw your video on youtube and have spent 3 hours trying to make them with no luck at all first cuts would make them fall apart than finally got where to make cuts and now all I can get is a butterfly shape apon opening..what am I doing wrong?? wish I could slow mo the video at the spot where you are flipping the paper about
I have to say, I am enjoying your tutorials, they are so much fun to watch and learn all your techniques. I'm just learning this fun world of journaling and I must say I am loving it, wanting to try everything.
Wow Jenny this is great. What a beautiful flowers and thanks to sharing this with me.
