making rolled flowers and leaves
Hello Roadies! Kimberly here with a little break from the holiday projects. But the great part about this quick and easy canvas is, you can give it as a gift! My favorite part of this project is the rolled flowers. Let me show you how easy it is to create these with some products from Maya Road!
Start by spraying Red Pepper Mist on your Alterable Crochet Trim on a surface that is protected. Once dry, begin rolling the trim starting at one end of the trim. I found that if I rolled it along the base of the trim, it was much easier to control and added to the overall fullness of each flower.
Once you reach the end, apply a glue meant for fabrics and hold in place for a moment or two. Keep in mind, the longer the trim, the larger the flower. Experiment to get the size flower you need for your project.
Here is the finished flower. I love the spots of white peeking through, the spots that didn't get a lot of misted color. So much more interesting this way!
Then the leaves. Maya Road Paper Twine cording is one of my favorite products! Its tissue paper that has been rolled into useable twine. But you can still unroll it and use it like I did.
Unroll a length of the cording. Cut it in half lengthwise. Then fold the cording in half, creasing the fold, and adhering the ends together. Push the two ends towards each other and you have a leaf.
These flowers add a beautful touch to add to any project!
Thanks for stopping by!
