Flower Fun




Here is a fun little project that I made today using my June kit from Studio Calico, a few tiny photos and a simple terra cotta pot.

How to:
(1) Paint pot as desired and set aside to dry. When dry, place a plant in it.
(2) Cut length of green craft wire about 12 inches long.
(3) Thread layers of felt, paper, buttons, whatever onto the wire (up through the bottom and then back down). I put a clear button on the bottom of each pile of goodies to make it a little heftier.
(4) Twist wire at the base of the goodies and continue twisting all the way down to make a wire stem.
(5) To add photos (there are 4 in my project), cover photo with a clear circle epozy sticker and cut around it. Adhere to the top layer of the flower with a pop dot or glue dot.
(6) Randomly stick the scrappy flowers in the dirt. Voila!
