Daisy Flower Tutorial

Hi Everyone!

As I promised you last time, today I'll explain to you how you can complete your Daisy flower.

You will need:

• Foamiran 0.6 mm, white,
• 201 Lemon Mungyo Soft Oil Pastel,
• a half of piece of kitchen sponge,
• a daisy flower centre,
• a Daisy mould,
• an iron,
• a hot glue gun with glue sticks,
• scissors.

Cut a rectangular piece of white foamiran big enough to cover the kitchen sponge, at about 7cm x 8 cm approx.

Cover the piece of kitchen sponge as shown.

Heat the rectangular piece.

Quickly press the kitchen sponge with the foamiran into the mould.

 You should have the imprint like this:

Repeat the process and cut 12 small and 12 medium petals. 

Colour the bottom part of the petals with yellow oil pastel.

Apply a drop of hot glue on to the edge of the petal and glue it on the reverse side of the daisy centre as shown.

Clue all 12 small petals into the centre consecutively.

Complete the flower by gluing the larger petals overlapping the first layer.

Roll the edges of the petals backward.

Now your flower is ready. You can make lots of similar daisies flowers. My collection is shown below. 

Here you can see a floral hair comb which I've made with some of the daisies.

I do hope you like and have enjoyed this tutorial.

Have an amazing crafty week!

Daisy Flower Centre Tutorial

Hi Everyone!

It is a tutorial time again so I've decided to show you how to make one of the most fragile flowers, a Daisy flower. Daisies symbolise the sun simply because they look like it. These gentle flowers could be a perfect decoration for your scrapbook projects or simply for stylish accessories.

Fortunately, our task won't be difficult because in the www.crafteezee.co.uk there are lots of supplies which will help you to make this beautiful flower.

This tutorial will be split into two parts and today I will show you how to make the centre of the flower. Next time you will see how you make the other part of the daisy flower.

Let's begin!

For the Dairy centre you will need:

• Daisy Centres Mould,
• Stamperia Soft Extra Light Clay,
• 201 Lemon Mungyo Gallery Soft Oil Pastel,
• 227 Yellow Green Mungyo Gallery Soft Oil Pastel (optional),
• 208 Scarlet Mungyo Gallery Soft Oil Pastel (optional),
• a piece of kitchen sponge,
• a ruler.

From Stamperia Soft Extra Light Clay make 5 mini balls as it is shown in the photograph.

Place the balls of clay in the mould and gently press them to fill the whole area.

 Leave the clay for about half an hour to dry and gently ease the centres out of the mould as pictured alongside. Be careful. Don't squeeze them because they are still soft.  

Using scissors trim the excess bits and leave to dry for 24 hours.

Now it is time to colour the centries using oil pastels and a piece of kitchen sponge. 

 Gently cover all the surface with a yellow shade of oil pastel. If you would like you can apply some green and a hint of red on the edges of the centres. 

Now your centers are complete and are ready to be used for completing the Daisy flowers which I will show you next time.

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy crafting!

Hugs!

Wild rose tutorial

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my new tutorial for the Crafteezee blog.

Today I’d like to show you how to make what is a very simple but elegant flower; a wild rose.

These roses bloom in spring and early summer and when they have finished blooming they begin forming the wonderful multi-use rose hips.

Part of the charm that wild roses carry is that their blooming is so fast and transient but for this short period of time they spread incredible charm and tenderness.

To make this flower you will need:

* a strip of white Zephyr silk foamiran,

* a 4 x 4cm square of green foamiran (it could be forest green, grass green or even olive green),

* the largest petal of a Whimsy Stamps Rose Die Set,

* a cocktail stick,

* a glue gun with glue stick,

* pink (or some other colour, magenta, purple etc.) and yellow oil pastels,

* approximately 20 double headed ivory heart shaped stamens,

* a wet wipe or a piece of kitchen sponge,

* a mini foil ball, approx. 1 cm.

From a 23cm x 5 cm strip of white Zephyr silk foamiran, cut out 5 

rose petals.

Using the cocktail stick etch some lines from the bottom toward the edge of each petal as I’ve shown here.

With a wet wipe apply oil pastel and colour the upper part of the petals.

Shape the rose petals by gently stretching the centre part of the petal between your thumbs and fingers as indicated in the photos.

Using extra care stretch the edge of the petal in the opposite direction as I have shown in the picture below.

Roll the edge of each petal backwards.

     

When you have finished your petal should look something like this. You don’t need to use an iron.

Now it’s time to make the centrepiece of our wild rose. Make a mini ball out of a piece of kitchen foil approx. 1 cm in size.

Cover the mini ball with a square of white Zephyr silk foamiran approx. 4 x 4 cm.

Glue it as I've shown here to create a mini bud.

Colour the stamens and the centre in yellow.

Glue the stamens around the bud.

It’s now time to attach the petals. Using the photos below for reference and using a small amount of glue, paste all the petals around the bud.

At the end, your wild rose should look like this: 

To complete your wild rose I would recommend that the reverse side of the flower is endorsed with a green sepal, that is heated and twisted as shown. This would be made from a 4 x 4cm square of green foamiran and cut into shape and glued in place as shown.

Your wild flower is completely finished. You can use it to decorate a scrapbook project or to make some pretty hair clip, headband or other hair accessory.

Thank you for stopping by!

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Hugs!
