I enjoy recycling whenever I can !
With this project I was able to do just that!
I know you will have everything you need on hand as well !
The possibilities of using this beautiful Shabby Chic flower is endless!
You will be so pleased with the end result when you create yours!
Supplies you will need
• material main color
• material contrast color or ribbons
• hot glue
• large paper clip or small clothespin
• thin cardboard piece
I used a empty tissue paper roll.
• glitter
• coffee if you want to stain it a little
• scissors
• needle and thread
• bling, buttons or fuzzy wool ball for the center of the flower
Once you gather all your supplies you are ready to begin!
I used a pieces of light weight cotton material
I cut my strip about 4 ft long and about 3 “ high.
The I folded it like this about 5 times ruffly .
Once I was done I drew a half circle like this for a guide for me to cut . It doesn’t have to be perfect.
It should look like this once you get it cut.
I got my needle ready make sure you have a long enough piece of thread on it .
Then just do a slip stitch across the bottom.
Once you are done pull it together like this .
Then sew the ends together!
To make the smaller flower I took some material and I cut 8 pieces about 3”x2” .
I cut a circle from the tissue paper roll .
I folded my material then dropped a little glue to help keep it like this.
Very little just a dot or so .
Then I folded it again and added a little glue again.
I did all 8 . Don’t over think this some of mine are uneven but you really won’t notice it once you are done .
Then I started gluing them on the circle .
Here’s what you should have when you are done.
I cut another circle for the other strips of material I’m adding.
You can use ribbons or material for this part whatever you like better.
I glued them crisscross on my circle then glued it on my big flower!
Then I took my small cream flower and glued it on top!
You should have 3 layers.
Large flower.
Strips
Then small flower.
I chose to use this fuzzy wool ball for my center .
I love how this fuzzy wool ball looks in the middle !
You can embellish it whatever way you want .
You can use buttons , some bling what ever you have handy .
I then cut a larger circle .
I used a lid for my pattern.
Choose one that will fit your flower .
I cut a circle to cover the back and it gives a nice spot to add your paper clip.
I just cut a little piece of the tissue paper roll to cover part of the paper clip so it looks more finished on the back .
Here’s how the paper clip looks like .
I love that finished look!
You can also use a small clothespin instead.
I wanted to grunge it up a bit so I used some left over coffee .
I brushed the coffee on … This coffee wasn’t that strong so it’s a light coffee stain effect.
While the petals were somewhat damp I twisted them with my fingers to crinkle them up a bit .
I also added just a little glitter in the center of the flower.
I love the sparkle it gives .
That's it look how beautiful it looks clipped to this lamp !
