Sweet Paper Decorations

Since I can't ever let go of anything colorful, my basement is filled with catalogs and magazines that I don't have the heart to throw away. I've been using some to create my bangles and paper beads but obviously that can't possibly catch up with the speed of mail delivery. So I found these three awesome tutorials that others like me can use to make pretty things out of paper!

These beauties are actually really simple and I can't wait to make a ton to decorate Christmas presents! The tutorial can be found at How About Orange!

Martha Steward went for something much more simple, but still pretty clever! Since my mom gets christmas card catalogs at her work this might be very useful! You can find the tutorial here in case its not too obvious :-)

These roses by T. Matthewes are indeed a fine art, I am already tracing spirals on my magazines!! Check his sweeeeeeeeet sweet blog here!
