Hi everyone! Today we are going to make a fabulous grungy flower! I love this one and make it all the time although I did not design it, I did alter it o fit what I need but the original is by Chris416ward.
Do create this flower you can do it two ways. You can use some white paper and your glimmer mist to change the color to what you want (the white paper that comes in your scrapbooks/page protectors is wonderful) or what I did was use my patterned paper and the Tim Holtz perfect pearl mist available at the store!
to start you will need
pearl mist/glimmer mist
glass bead or pearl for center
hot glue gun
glove if you have one and you are using glimmer mist or you will be scrubbing your hands
for the flowers you can use your cricut, flower punch or Tim Holtz die or any other flower you can can get 3 sizes from...I use 1 - 1", 2 - 1 1/2", 2 - 2" flowers
heat gun if you have it
Spray both sides of your flowers with your mist
scrunch them up...not so much you can't get them apart without ripping them.
unfold them carefully but leave them wrinkly
dry them with your heat gun if you have one....leave them a little damp so you can mold a little...I use a skewer to hold them so I don't burn my fingers
glue your two large ones together...alternating so your petals are alternating
Using your thumbs on the middle, kind of mold your flower up like this
do the same with your next size two (the 1 1/2")
glue your glass bead into the middle and kind of fold up your flower around it
Glue your three flower levels together and fluff the petals
and that is your finished flower!
here are a couple of examples
can't wait to see what you create!
