goob's room - tissue paper flowers

i have seen similar on pinterest and on the web - however it was a very recent post by the lovely shannon from the blog burlap and lace that spurred me on to grab some branches from our wintery birch trees and put some tissue paper flower love into goob's room makeover.
(do go visit shannon if you get the chance - she's nutty about pinterest too -aren't we all??!! - i love the girl!!!)

here's the inspiration - shannon's lovely flowers.....

link to this pic and post - here

shannon has shown a wonderful 'how to' on her blog - and i really couldn't add to it - it's great.
(click on that link shown below her photo for the low down)

goob used her veto power on the pink (she has an aversion to anything pink - i swear) - so we went with white tissue paper instead. 
goob also told me when to stop (ie she didn't want too many flowers) and had a little too much input on flower placement for my liking (she's really getting a little pushy that girl....!) - even though i was the one gasping in pain from hot glue gun burns.....!!

anyhoo - here's some pics for your viewing pleasure.....(all the pics get bigger if you click on them!!)

 i grabbed some white tissue paper - cut it into strips then cut again into little rectangles - then started twisting away.

with my kitchen scissors i then popped outside and cut some birch branches and then arranged into a vase (goob already had a lovely vase in her room).
with my glue gun - i dabbed some glue onto the branch then sqished the flower in with the glue onto the branch. (hence the sometimes hot glue burn feeling - ouch! - be careful with this step!)
it's a little hard to see on the kitchen bench pic above  - but do go to shannon's blog if you need any further explanation - it's good - i promise!

i then took the arrangement into our loungeroom for a photo shoot (?!) - as it looked better against the light grey walls......

and below - here is where it sits in goob's room - (it may move around - as her room is in the middle of a huge makeover - but it does look really good here for now.....).....

and the goob is once again happy - and all is well with our world!!!
(i'm being very cheeky - the goob and i get on very well - especially for a 15yr old - and it's fun to be working with her on this room)

thank you shannon for the great inspiration. you may not have come up with the original idea - but your post came at just the right time for me - and that's what this blogging is all about - yes??

another thing done.......now what's next......... (??)
hugz from me.
