When you want to take a break from paper flowers, here is a video tutorial from Susan Bonn that demonstrates her crepe paper artichokes. Susan originally created this project as a Thanksgiving Centerpiece DIY. However, we agree with Susan that these little cuties can be crafted and enjoyed year around.
