The soil is straight from a tea bag :whistle:
The seedlings are three strands of DMC floss in two shades of green.
I tied a knot in the middle and then snapped off the extra.
So how did I get it into the soil?
I pushed the knot in using a toothpick.
Easy peasy lemon squeezie.
Just for fun!
Two size circles with the edges cut to resemble sunflower petals.
The center from wire.
Don't forget to crumple your paper, it makes it look more real in my opinion ;o)
I used four layers to make this flower.
The center was covered in gluw and dipped in coffee, heh...
I need a cuppa now!
I like using paper wire for the stems:
For this peony I'm using two shades of pink tissue paper.
First you need to carefully crumple the paper into two balls and then unfold.
I cut four types of petals, I cut tiny irregularities to them.
I ended up using three layers of each type.
The tip of the wire is made into a tiny loop and dipped into glue. The first layer is crumpled to a ball.
I had been using watercolors, but have noticed that it rubs off a bit, so I tried these:
Crayons that work like watercolors, the colors are bright and don't come off!
I first carefully color white tissue paper, I tend to use more than one color to get the right shade.
After you go over the color with a brush dipped in water, it looks like this.
Once it's dry you can start using it.
You will need
-Tissue paper in desired colors (I used water paints on white for mine)
-sun shaped punch
-wire
-glue
-needle
-You will need six pieces for one flower. Make a hole with the needle in the center of each one.
-make a small loop in the end of the wire and dip it in the glue
-thread one layer of tissue through the wire
-scrunch it up tightly
-add dabs of glue and glue on all layers
-you will end up w
You will need:
-tissue paper in desired colors
-hole punch
-wire
-yellow thread
-glue
-scissors
-make a loop in the end of the wire and dip it in glue
-take some of the thread and twist around the loop tightly, cut off extra
-dab glue around the thread and add one petal and roll it gently
-add onto the flower by dabbing glue and gently placing new petals around the center
-add petals until you are happy
You will need:
-tissue paper in desired colors
-small flower punch
-seed beads
-glue
-wire
You will need three layers for one flower.
-add one bead to the end of the wire
-dab glue around it and add the first layer
-add the remaining layers in the same manner
