Paper Platypus Review & Giveaway

Sweetheart Gift Guide

Welcome to the Sweetheart Gift Guide edition Review & Giveaway.. please be sure to stop over at our main page for more review/giveaway and ideas that are sure to make this Valentine’s Day one to remember!

I love DIY projects, but they MUST be simple and to the point because I tell you.. I don’t have a creative bone in my body! Haha! Serenity really loves crafts and is always asking me to draw things. Really.. I cannot draw hippos, lobsters, or alligators! So, I am always on the hunt for fun activities with easy instructions that look great.

I’d like you all to meet Paper Platypus! Karen specializes in hand crafted flowers. Her interest was sparked in 2007 when she became engaged. Real flowers can become very pricey and she knew that just wasn’t her. So, for her own wedding, she personally designed and cut 200 paper roses!  They were of course a hit and became a long lasting piece of memorabilia of her special say.

She has a large variety of flowers that are available in nearly any color combination you can dream of.  You can purchase them pre-made, or you can purchase a kit and DIY!  They are completely budget friendly, look fantastic, and will last forever! These flowers are great for any occasion including weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, or even every day decor.

So what did we really think?

I was skeptical as to whether I would be able to put these together easily. I am happy to report that I was successful! We had the opportunity to put together a bunch of chrysanthemums. The kit came with EVERYTHING. I was surprised by all that she packed into the kit including the glue and cue-tips. She also included fantastic step by step written AND photo instructions that really gave you the boost of confidence needed. All of the pieces were accurately and clearly label so there is no mistaking which was which. In the end, I made flowers that actually looked like the picture! Haha! I did have a little trouble with the floral tape, but then again, I have never used it before. All in all, great idea! They are a budget option for those that just cannot afford a dozen of real flowers and look just as great! I really loved the flowers and the options available and I am considering them for my sister-in-laws baby shower!!
