With Mother’s Day on the horizon (May 10, to be exact) there’s no better time to make these delightful little tissue paper posies, as seen in the current issue of HOORAY!. A great way to add colour to any gathering, these posies could be made super small, placed in a little glass milk bottle and gifted to each of your guests, or bunched in the centre of the table as replacement blooms. But we prefer to make them really big and hang them from the ceiling! Need some more Mother’s Day inspo? Pick up a copy of HOORAY! Issue 10 and check out our guide to hosting an intimate and girly brunch for the leading lady in your life.
