cut out a leaf pattern on paper. you are going to have 5 leaves for each flower. then cut 5 of them out of superstretch making them a little bit larger for seam allowance. take floral wire and bend it in the shape of the original paper cutout. lay it on the superstretch petal, then use hot glue or E-6000 and run a line of it over the top of the wire and fold the excess seam allowance over the wire. after it dries, you can bend it like a petal to make it more realistic. then stone around the edges and put all the petals together. hope this makes sense

Wow...would have never guessed! Thanks for the help! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
