It's finally starting to feel like spring here in Maine! I got the idea for this bouquet from this post from Fave Crafts.
Duct Tape "Dandelion"
Materials:
*Duct tape
*Measuring tape
*Thick gauge floral wire
*Scissors
*Wire cutters
Directions:
*Cut off a strip of duct tape about 18" in length.
*Fold it over (the hot dog way) almost in half so that about 1/4" of tape is left unattached.
*Cut slits in the tape almost all the way down to the unattached portion to create a fringe.
*Cut off a length of floral wire and wrap the duct tape around one end.
*Gently push on the petals to open the flower.
Large Sequin Flowers
Materials:
*Large sequins
*Medium sequins
*All purpose adhesive
*Wire
Directions:
*Take three large sequins and glue a medium sequin into the center of each one.
*Cut off three sections of wire of varying lengths and attach a large sequin to each one.
*Twist together the three wires to create a branch.
Sparkly Pom Pom Flowers
Materials:
*Sparkly pom poms
*All purpose adhesive
*Thick gauge green floral wire
Directions:
*Cut off a length of floral wire.
*Glue a pom pom to the top of the wire.
Hearts and Flowers Branch
Materials:
*Artificial floral branch
*Patterned paper
*Heart punch
*All purpose adhesive
Directions:
*Punch out hearts from the patterned paper and glue them to the artificial floral branch.
Glittery Flower
Materials:
*Artificial flower
*Glitter
*Glue
Directions:
*Coat the tops of the petals of the flower in glue.
*Pour glitter over the glue. Set aside to dry.
*Once dry, shake off any excess glitter.
Butterfly
See my Spring Butterfly Bookmarks post to find out how to make this lovely butterfly.
Putting it All Together:
Materials:
*Oversize plastic cup
*Cone shaped Styrofoam
*Mini pinwheels
Directions:
*Fit Styrofoam inside cup. Mine fit perfectly as it was, but depending on the size and shape of your cup, you may have to trim the Styrofoam some.
*Stick flowers and pinwheels into the Styrofoam.
*Glue the butterfly to one of the flowers.
