I was thinking about my daughter’s bedroom and how to make paper flowers for the nursery specifically. I ended up making paper flower wall decor for our bedroom as well. They were super easy to make. The hardest part of figuring out how to attach the paper flowers to the wall.
I decided to try and make the same thing for our bedroom. It never hurts to add a little more romance in the bedroom.

All good things.
