Security Envelope Paper Flowers

With increase in crafty projects out there using the inside of security envelopes (I'll never look at junk mail the same way again), I knew that it was only a matter of time before I made something with the ever changing patterns found on the inside of so many bills and junk mail.

May present for your viewing pleasure:

I took the tutorial of poinsettia paper flowers that I did earlier this week and instead of gluing the petals together after the hole punch, I bound them together with a brad and taped a chenille pipe cleaner to the back. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! And a very pretty outcome. perfect for an impromptu "just because" teacher gift!
