A singed fabric rose



This was a fun experiment. I found some instructions on the web, and went to town!

I first cut the eight circles different sizes, clipped them from the ends towards the centre, but not right through. I then singed the edges over a tea light candle. I used 6 pieces of satiny type fabric, and two pieces of organza. Am ready to make some more.

Let me know if you have done this in the past, or plan to make some very soon!

Trust me, it was an easy project.

FLOWERS

I was playing today and made a few flowers using different techniques.

The first flower is made from various sizes of paper purchased flowers. I put a brad in the centre, crumpled the flower petals, opened them up, and sprayed with mists.

Second flower is made with canvas cloth. It is not as easy to make, but I do love the look of it.

The third flower is make with a soft kraft paper - I cut out 10 circles with a decorative scissors, all the same shape. Did the same crumpling etc as with the first flower. It is more vibrant IRL. I really enjoyed making these little gems, and will be using them as accents.
