Flowers for You with Epiphany Crafts!!

How many of you give or receive flowers for Easter!

Often they don't come to us in the nicest or most fashionable of containers. Let's face it...it's the flower that is what we're truly looking at.

Designer Leslie Ashe received these beautiful flowers and thought the Epiphany Studio Tools would be the perfect way to dress up a slightly drab container. We have to admit...this is such a fun idea!

And Designer Jan Hennings has a bangle cuff bracelet that can be made to match your outfit, style and dress up your wrist like non other!!
