Do you have a specfic tutorial for the paper wisterias? They look so cute ^_^
🌸 Paper Wisteria Tutorial 🌸
want to make these flowers to hang over your doorway or window or what have you?:
hooray !! i can show you how :]
i made these using:
green yarn
colorful construction paper
pony beads
of course it is not required for you to use any of these specifically; you just need paper, beads to space the flowers, and any string like thing to hang them on. you will also need scissors and glue—mine hold up perfectly with just elmer’s school glue!
tutorial below the cut (this will be long, be warned!)
🌸step one:🌸
cut a length of your string/yarn/what have you, and be generous with it depending on how long you want your wisteria to be. once you have this length of yarn, tie a bead to one end. this is what will hold up the bottom flower
🌸step two:🌸
prepare your construction paper to make flowers! the way i do it, one full sheet can create four flowers
first, fold your sheet hamburger style (short side to short side)
then, cut down the crease so you have two even halves
then, do the same to the half sheet you now have, folding it in half hamburger style and cutting once more. this will give you two sheets 1/4 size of your original paper
don’t worry about cutting or folding anything perfectly, i promise you it doesn’t matter
🌸step three:🌸
make the flowers!
take your 1/4 sheet and pull one corner up to the long side to create a triangle shape with some extra on the side. cut off this extra, leaving you with only the triangle
take the two opposite corners of your triangle and bring them to each other, folding it into a smaller triangle
repeat this step once more, leaving you with another, smaller triangle
then, find the corner where the paper is folded and cut off the tip. be careful not to cut too much, or else the bead won’t be able to hold up the flower !!
then, flip it over and cut an arch shape into the other side
when you unfold it, it should look like this!:
if your flower looks like this, you’ve done it right! hooray !!
next, cut one petal out
you can put the extra petal aside or toss it, we won’t need it’
take the two petals on either side of the gap and glue one on top of the other; this should give the flower a curve
that’s how you make a paper flower! huzzah!! the hard part is done
🌸step four:🌸
stack your flowers !!
put the yarn through the hole in the center of your flower and slide it down until the bead stops it (make sure the flower is open downwards!). then, make more flowers, using the beads to space them out as you put them on. I like to use three pony beads between the flowers to space them out
as you stack them, your wisteria will start to form! i worried about color coordinated the beads at first, but it really doesn’t matter because you won’t be able to see them once all the flowers are on there. i like to end off my wisteria with one matching colored bead at the top for a finished look, but of course, this is not required.
when you’ve stacked as many flowers as you want onto your yarn, it’s time to hang them!
🌸step five:🌸
hang your flowers !!
of course weight will vary depending on what exact materials you use, but mine hold up just fine with only scotch tape since it’s just yarn, paper and beads!
happy crafting!!
if you try this, please feel free to post your results in the reblogs or post them and tag me…….i would love to see it:3!!!!
ultimately the truth about frankenstein is that we are all grotesque amalgamations of the best and worst parts of everyone who came before us. and sometimes the people who are supposed to love us because of and in spite of this will not. and we can kill them with hammers for that. and i think that’s beautiful
what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.
Protip that parent of human children HATE to hear: Practicing positive reinforcement and behavior redirection in dogs makes you excellent at utilizing positive reinforcement and behavior redirection in children because they have much better language and reasoning skills!
Replace the man with a child, replace the op with a parental figure or teacher, and replace m&m with smiley faces, stick, etc. if you want to be technical, we've been doing that all our lives.
It's always been a shit way to write a book. Slamming through fifty thousand words in a month leads to burnout and a garbage draft you'll spend more time unfucking than if you'd actually just paced yourself.
I'm proposing Novel Outline November
Start with your idea on November 1st.
Write something for your novel every day. The only unacceptable amount is 0.
Attempt to complete the plot in 50K words. Stick with that as a limiting factor so you focus on what's most important to your story.
When it's done it's done! Everyone is a winner!
You will
Develop good writing habits
Challenge yourself to write long form
Create a base that can be expanded into commercial fiction (70-100K) or genre fiction (100-110K)

As someone who doesn't pick up social ques very well, words mean a lot to me. Words I wish I had said. Words I wish I hadn't said it. Words I could have said nicer. Words I say from my heart. Words I have received from others. Words I wish I had received from others. Words I wish I hadn't received from others.
When I was younger, to an extent, words we're your bond. Yours words held weight with me. However, the older I got and the life experience I went through, that became less true. So I stay quiet and only said what I need to or mean to. I take some people at their word with a grain of salt now. Even people I've known for years.
