It is always a challenge to find a perfect flower that colour matches your project/card or a 3D element which brings paper crafting to life. This challenge is designed to do just that....showing you how to sculpture a flat piece of low grade paper into a beautiful flower or feather.
Criteria for challenge:
Create a craft project and incorporate at least one paper flower and one paper feather which you have hand crafted....to take it one step further, if you want to tighten your criteria and be inspired by the photo below (which could be based on composition/colours etc, note the flat paper flowers ideal for scrapbooking but we are aiming for the 3D look!)
You will need:
- Paper which can be low grade, printer paper, scrapbook paper, music sheets, old maps, pages from old books etc
- Pencil
- Wire (garden wire is good....not too thick)
- PVA Tacky glue
- Flower dies for cutting each layer or hand made flower templates (differing sizes) made from cereal packets.
- Small pointed sharp scissors.
- (Optional) Inks, rubber stamps with delicate designs such as text, flourish etc.
- Small embossing tool with smooth cylindrical handle for sculpting.
Happy crafting and I am looking forward to catching up with you at the Coffee Morning, This morning at 10am. (Full details on the tab along the top of the page.)
