Burlap seems to be a popular fabric right now. Have you checked out Ballard Design lately?? So- I did the burlap board and needed to embellish it just a wee bit- so I thought I'd make a flower to go on one of the clothes pins. I went to craftaholicsanonymous to check out how she did it. She has AMAZING tips on burlap- like how to get it to cut straight. Wish I had read that post before I cut it for the board. Anyways- so this is how I did my flower: |
They look like little peanuts :-) I made 3 of each size. The larger ones are almost the same length of the clothespin I glued them onto. |
My peanuts all cut out. |
Ok- so this is where something went wrong. craftaholicsanonymous said to fold over at both sides in the center and glue in place.... well- mine kinda just got pinched in the middle. What can I say- the glue and I were not getting along (In fact- I have a glue burn blister on the tip of my finger now) To make it still work and not have to start all over I just cut a v notch out of each one and fit the next petal (peanut) into the V. Which you can see the V in this picture. Glued them at the V's and ta da. It still worked. YAY!!!! To finish it I just glued one of the buttons from my button jar in the center. Not bad for my first flower (esp since I did it out of Burlap) |
