I had a few requests on how I made the flowers. *Mind you, I cannot take credit for these, as I got the idea from Tricia!*
But I just went to the scrapbook store and found some chip board flowers.
Then I painted the chip board flowers red.
Trace and cut out the shapes of the flowers from fun paper.
Mod Podge the paper to the chip board.
Print out little 1 inch close up pictures and punch out with a circle whole puncher that is the appropriate size. (I also printed out the words and punched those out the same.)
Then attach with a foam sticky so they stand up a little.
I think Tricia glued them onto pens or pencils or something. But I had some wire so I used that because I know Chris would NOT use the pens! Plus I wanted them to be bendable. So I bent the top of the wire into a little swirl (so it had some kind of a surface) and then just glue gunned them to the flower.
Then cut out little leaves from felt leaving a little bit of a "stem" and then wrap the wire with floral tape. Putting the leaves in appropriate spots and then walla, you have a cute arrangement!
I hope this helps! If you make one, post it, so we can see how cute it turns out! I LOVE Jodi's idea of making one for the table! Adorable flowers that will never die!!
