How to Make Your Own Wedding Bouquet

Posted on September 10, 2011 by Amy Wing

Hi everyone!

Cheryl Whittaker created this wonderful tutorial just for Gauche Alchemy showing how she made her own wedding bouquet!  If it moved a little too fast for you on the origami part – go back and re-watch it a couple of times… the technique is simple and the effects are SO worth it!  Congratulations to Cheryl on her nuptials!  I wonder if she used our Wedding Night mixed media kit for her garter?

    Natürlich geht es beim Kampfsport in der heutigen Zeit nicht mehr darum den Gegner bewusst zu schädigen.

    Es scheint also deutlich sinnvoller zu sein, sich Hobbys zu suchen, bei denen man in Bewegung bleibt, als
    solche, die man sitzend erledigen kann.
