I use mainly crepe paper as my main medium, which you can purchase online at various suppliers. My favourite suppliers are listed in the Toolbox section. I also use stem wires and sometimes floral tape which can be purchased at floral supply wholesalers, baking/cake supply stores and even big box stores like Michaels and Joanns. Everything else can be easily purchased from art or craft stores, online, or you likely have them at home. For most materials, I provide direct links to where you can buy them inside the course.
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
The short answer - Forever. The long answer - You’ll have access to the course videos and content forever as long as Crafted to Bloom exists, even if the online course platform changes.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of digital products, I cannot offer a refund. That said, I just know that you'll learn something! I design every one of my flower online course so that I can share new and fresh techniques with you. I hate repeating myself.
Absolutely - this course is perfect for anyone who wants to learn. This course provides step-by-step lectures with me guiding you at each step through video instruction. You get to watch me demonstrate various steps up-close while I thoroughly explain every action I take. You’ll have access to the templates that I use - no need to free-hand cut anything! If you didn’t catch something - anything - the first time, you can watch and re-watch the videos. I’m confident that you will create a gorgeous flower that resembles my foxgloves by the end of the course. That said, I do recommend that you also take my "Easy" online courses so you can familiarize yourself with some of the basic skills and techniques without feeling overwhelmed with the skills and techniques taught in these more advanced courses.
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE to watch other seasoned paper florists work and create. I always learn new tricks or new ways of doing something. It’s amazing how everyone does things differently. I’m confident that you’ll learn something new from my course too. I hate repeating myself.
Yes, you’re welcome to make this flower and sell it. All I ask is if someone, like a customer, ask you how you learned to make the flower, that you could acknowledge that you learned it from me and give credit where it is due.
If you know someone who would like to learn how to make this paper flower, I would ask you to encourage them to sign up for this course. Please do not share the access information with third parties. You paid for access to it, and so should they. I’ve put in a lot of effort to designing this course and the intellectual property connected to this course, the materials, and the techniques are mine. Similarly, you are absolutely not permitted to teach this paper flower for monetary gain without expressed written permission from me. If you are interested in re-teaching this paper flower I do offer licensing options. Read more about this in the Terms & Conditions page: https://www.craftedtobloom.com/pages/terms

"I love making flowers from other artists' tutorials just as much as I love making my own designs. I end up learning so much and get to create more beautiful things as a result! Shown here are some recent blooms that I learned how to make thanks to these talented artists and teachers: foxglove from @jessieatcraftedtobloom, dahlia from @pinkandposey, and red charm peony from @liagriffith.
