I made these butterfly flower picks for my daughter's baby shower. The flowers were from our garden, gladiolus with some feathery asparagus plumes and a couple of grass stalk flower heads. Each vase got 2 butterfly flower picks.

With a little help from mom, the shower was given by the sisters - daughter and son-in law each have 2 sisters. In the background you can see 2 loaves of banana bread and 1 loaf of chocolate zucchini bread. And in the front is my cup of coffee, because caffeine is an essential vitamin in my house.
By the way, the saying is a cross stitch that was done by my husband's Aunt Nan and it is one of my favorite sayings. It says:
"A lovely friend once gave to me
A most delightful recipe.
Each time its used I feel I spend
A precious moment with my friend."
For me that saying is as gorgeous as the flowers!

They were so easy to make. The paper was embossed with the Fancy Fan embossing folder (#127751) and then cut with the Beautiful Butterfly BigZ die (#114507). I hot glue gunned the butterflies together and pierced a hole for the Antique Brad (#117273). Then the whole thing was hot glued to a wooden shish-kaboob skewer.
