Paper Flower Ornaments Makes 6 ornaments Supplies Needed: 2 sheets of Basic Grey's Infuse- Breathe 1 sheet of Urban Lily - Just Add Color! Frolic pp 6 wooden clothespins (painted with olive green acrylic) Assorted inks or acrylic paints Stickles Hot glue gun 1) Cut out all the leaves, flowers and stamens. 2) Ink or paint the back of some of the cut outs (I used blue, gold, brown & green ink..whatever colors I had that looked like they would work.) 3) On the petals I would cut down farther than they were marked for some of them so I could get more shape when I curled them. 4) Cut out the Frolic petals and paint one side with a blend of red & pink liquid pearls. 5) Roll the cutouts around pens and smaller paintbrushes to curl. 6) Attach the biggest Basic Grey flower cut outs at the end where you would squeeze to open the clothespin with hot glue. 7) Start layering the rest of the petals to form the flowers. Squeeze the bottom of the Urban Lily cut out together so it fans out at the top and use the Basic Grey stamen shape in the middle. 8) Just bend, twist and shape the pieces to get the look you want. 9) I added in the leaves and the twists of birch bark (from my yard) at the end. Use Stickles to glitter them up. This is a pretty time consuming process but worth it! TFL!!! Leslie | |
