When craft artist – Jessica James told us about her latest venture into the world of paper flowers, we were excited so we asked her to keep us posted. Less than a month later, she shared pictures from a photoshoot she organised and we couldn’t believe these lovely flowers were made out of paper. So we had to ask questions.

Enjoy!!

What’s the story behind these fantastic paper flowers? What made you start making them?

Naturally I’m good with my hands, I’m always of looking for new things to do. So I stumbled upon beautiful pictures of wedding backdrops and bouquets, then I thought it would be pretty expensive to achieve those looks using fresh flowers. I started doing some research and experimenting until I started seeing results I wanted. So I can literally say my inspiration for paper flower making came from desiring a solution for cheaper ways of getting beautiful results and also because I love to make pretty things.
