Here, too.

[Kristin]

Roll each strip into a circle and adhere with liquid glue or tape adhesive.

[Kristin]

Along the seam of your circles, stick a glue dot, or small length of two-sided tape, and squish your circle together gently.

I really hope you're all having a great time! And if you're in this class, let us know! Heidi will be picking a random winner ...

Nest step: trim three strips of a different paper 6x.5 inch.

Here! Loving the class! And loving this day!



Way to go Kristin!

I love this one so cute

Here and this is way cool - will have to do this tonight when I have the kids a little more subdued.

Next, layer the three large squashed circles over top of each other to create a flower shape. These layers can be stapled in the center.

Then layer the three smaller ones together. Use a piercing tool to poke a hole through the center of the smaller flower layer, and attach a brad. If you'd like to use a button in the center instead, simply glue or staple the layers, and adhere a button over top. After that, stick the smaller flower on top of the larger one.

{This flower would be very pretty on a card as well, or your next project, gift wrap, scrapbook page ...}

Love this flower!

Use a hot glue gun to attach the flowers to the side of the pencil, near the top. Tie a green ribbon bow around the pencil for the leaves.

I have a Mother's Day Crop to attend. I am supposed to do a "make and take". With your permission I would love to share this project at the Crop!


Thank you Thank you!

I'm here. A little slow since I am working with band-aid fingers (don't try to catch the X-Acto when you drop it), but definitely working on these.

Owwwww!

[Kristin]

I chose to put my pencil bouquet into a glass jar, but a flower pot would be completely adorable too! Put buttons, beans, or a styrofoam block in the bottom to keep the pencils in place. After you decide on a container, simply tie a ribbon around it, and add a quick custom tag. I simply stamped a sentiment onto a diecut circle, and added a button.

Gonna have fun with this one! Just bought some pencils at the $1 store.

[cherrybluff]

what a fun idea this is... you could create a garden

[Tabitha72]

[Scrapaway]
