Paper Flowers – Anyone Can Do That | FindInspirations.com Japanese Kusudama, this tutorial is featured on Craftuts Anyone can do that, I assure you. The proof: I can, just take a quick look at my result below. And, believe me, I am neither meticulous nor particularly patient. You could even say I’m the opposite. Below you can see my very first attempt to create paper flowers. What you will need to make your own Kusudama paper ball? 1. 3. 4. (optionally) I prefer torn paper instead of cut. You have to start with a single petal. Now you have to glue your 5 petals into a flower. Apply the glue to only one side of each petal, except for the last one, in this case cover both sides with glue. Your first flower is done. Don’t glue every petal right after you make it. When all 12 flowers are finished you have to glue them together. When two halves of Kusudama Flower Ball are ready you have to glue them together.

Paper Flower Tutorial I have been asked many times to show how to make this very simple flower tutorial, I actually saw a similar-ish one being made a few years ago, when I attended a small local crafts event and when I came home, got straight to making my own version (so that I wouldn't forget) I adjusted it here and there adding my own tweaks to it. I've been making them ever since for projects (for example recently here) and workshops and now finally, Ive put it in writing (and pictures) and alas my paper flower tutorial is born!! I have witten step by step notes and taken lots of pictures to match, in the hope that it fully explains and covers it, but email me if you have any probs. or need me to explain further. You can also click on the picture to enlarge it. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Now bring the shape together to make a funnel shape, but not too tight (image 21) and as before snip the pointy end off (image 24) 10. and also snip the pointy end off (image 27) 11. 12.
How to Make an Impression: Extraordinary Thank-You Notes January 10th, 2011 399Email 409 users recommend These days, sending any thank-you note will get you noticed, but sending this thank-you note may very well get you hired! Jeff Rudell Try to keep your designs loose and unfussy. A handmade vellum envelope is a wonderfully mysterious way to wrap your note for delivery. Photo: Jeff Rudell One holiday, many years ago, I hand-made ornaments for everyone on my Christmas list. I couldn't fault my friends, of course. My tactic was a bit off the mark, perhaps, but my idea was sound. The great thing about paper is that while it may be temporary, it can also be a tremendously effective medium for memory-making. While I'll probably never tinker with Christmas again, I still try to put this temporary nature of paper to good use as often as possible. Granted, not every note merits the time and energy required for this project. View 4 member project galleries
Pomander Balls: Peony Design These peony pomander balls (also known as wedding kissing balls) are very elegant and easy to make. And if you are on a tight budget and need some cheap wedding flower ideas, then these pomanders would be the perfect choice. These pomander balls could be used to decorate the pews, or your reception or even as a bridal bouquet design if you are planning on making your own bouquet.

Fold a heart page marker I hope you’ll whip up some heart page markers to share with those around you. It’s simply too easy not to make. Here’s how: Use a square piece of paper. Fold in half. This origami model is simple but versatile because it’s also able to become a 4-leaf clover or a flower by grouping 4 together, and hide a small item (like a ring) in front or even have it stand on its own by making an easel with the back flap.

Sugared Letters Tutorial I am always on the lookout to create tutorials for Swirlydoos. Well, I have a few Prima sugared letters left, and I really love them. I cant find them anywhere. I'm wondering if they even make them anymore. I would love for them to come in different colors. So I figured, they are easy enough to make. Product List.1. Step 1.Paint your letters using an even coat of paint. Step2.Ink your stamp generously and lightly stamp your painted letters, being careful not to move the stamp around or rock it, as that will smudge your letters. Step3. Step 4. DIY Botanical Silhouette Decorating the home will involve at some point, working with your walls. In one way or another, you are bound to eventually feel the urge to paint them. But most of the times, (re)designing or (re)painting walls have a more permanent impact than paintings do. So, before you change the look and feeling of your home in a semi-permanent manner, try the relatively temporary and simpler way. Grab these items: • a couple of brushes (thin and thick); • a piece of paper; • a board of canvas; • a twig of leaves; • a small bowl; • a bottle of acrylic paint; • a can of spray paint; • a can of spray adhesive; The steps are quite easy and will definitely take you back to arts & crafts classes from school.
"Ceramic" Paper Roses These rolled roses originally started out as plain red cardstock. Now they have an almost ceramic look to them. Let me show you how I made them! 1. 2. 3. 4. From here I tried two different techniques to get the “ceramic” look for the roses. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Note: This starts the 2nd “ceramic” technique. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. The final single rose. The final set of 3 roses. Its may be difficult to tell from the photos, but these roses have a great shine to them. So, what to do with these fun new flowers? Well, since they are pinbacks I can add them to any outfit as a brooch, put them on a belt, add them to a headband… Other than the time it took the cardstock and Mod Podge to dry (which was really only a few minutes), this was a pretty quick project.
