love Sunflowers !
These are so much fun to make .
They require no sewing so it’s pretty simple to put them together!
You need very little supplies.
I’m sure you probably have everything you need at hand.
Supplies I used
• Mason jar rings and lids I used a small and a large size
• materials of your choice
• hot glue
• two branches
• artificial leaves
• cinnamon
• Elmer’s clear glue
• glitter
• scissors
• Dixie Belle wax brown or brown paint
I cut 35 strips of material for the large sunflower.
They measured 1 inch x 9 inch’s
I then tied them around the ring.
I tied them tightly all around.
This is what you should have when you are done.
I then cut a circle from the material I chose for the middle .
I then glued the material on the lid .
I used the small lid to go in the center of the large sunflower.
It should look like this .
I then used my Dixie Belle Wax to grunge the flower up .
I of course love that look !
You can skip this step if you don’t like it .
I then began working my second flower .
I cut 34 pieces for this flower my material was thin because I chose cheese cloth so it required that many . This is the smaller flower.
The measurement for the strips were 1”x 7” long.
I tied them on the ring all the way around.
Make sure it is nice and full.
I chose the material for the center .
I glued it down.
With this flower I added a little batting and then glued my smaller lid on top .
I decided to cover the silver lid with a piece of brown paper .
I glued it directly on top of the lid.
I then used my Elmer’s glue and spread alittle on the front of the flower and then sprinkled a little cinnamon for that added grunge goodness!
Soooo cute!
While it was still wet I also sprinkled a little diamond dust glitter.
I then found two branches in my yarn and I got some artificial leaves from some flowers I had .
I glued the branches on the back use plenty of glue for this step .
Then I glued my leaves on !
I love these flowers!
Look how beautiful they are !
They look so pretty just about anywhere you decide to display them !
These beauties are so quick and easy to create !
I hope you give them a try.
I know you will love them too!
They are just so beautiful and so very Whimsical!
It all starts just by using a little imagination and a few supplies!
