1. Measure and cut card stock templates for the main pieces in three sizes. The templates I used were: Large= 6.5 inches/16cm, Medium= 5 inches/12.5 cm, Small=2.5 inches/6.5 cm. Templates will be used as a rough guide. You are aiming for slightly irregular shapes.
2. Cut 6 large shapes, 12 medium shapes and 24 small shapes.
3. Use a circle cutter or make templates and trace and cut for the center circles. Large centers=2.5 inches/6 cm. Medium centers=1.75 inches/4.5 cm. Small centers=1 inch/2.25 cm.
4. Create centers by slitting paper almost to the center to divide circle in roughly 4 quadrants.
5. Pinch each quadrant in the center.
6. With the center right side up, pinch and fold in while pushing down to create a flat bottomed center with 4 "petals".
7. Glue centers to each flower.
8. Use adhesive gum (the reusable gum used to hang posters) to attach the flowers to the wall. Start with the large shapes and work down to the small ones. The adhesive gum will allow you to keep rearranging until you are pleased with the composition.More photos of the finished wall here.
Just scrolled down from your refashioned dress and gotta say, this one is gorgeous too (and so simple!). Definitely have to rethink my walls now.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea - they look great!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I found it via Crafting a Green World! I love how simple and pretty it is.
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty! Heather just emailed me about them and I'm so glad she did. I would love to link if you didn't mind.
ReplyDeleteThese are just lovely! I keep "shopping" my house to come up with new arrangements, thus leaving holes everywhere. This would fill one of said holes in my living room nicely! Thanks! (Found you through dollarstorecrafts.com.)
