How to Make a Floral Paper Table Decoration
Posted by Gwen Collingridge on
One of my friends was running an event recently and she wanted to make some table decorations that were easy, quick, something a bit different and made an impact without breaking the bank.
We decided on paper flowers using a simple circular template that we could create from the top and bottom of one of our cups.
The tools for the job:
|
Using the cup I drew one big circle and five small circles.
Then take the circles and cut about halfway to the middle. Run the Glue Roller down one side of the cut. |
Create cone shapes. |
There are lots of configurations you can use, here I layered the cones, sticking each one in with the Glue Roller then glued two small cones together in the middle and cut some frilly stamen in. |
With this one I layered in the cones as before and glued in a small pom pom with the Glue Roller |
Then I filled up a jar with blue/green buttons... |
And placed the flowers on top, making it look like some flowers in a vase. |
For extra height we added stalks by using green card folded over itself. Making a split at the top I used the Glue Roller to stick them to the base of the flower. |
We then added the flowers back into the vase with the buttons. |
The Glue Roller was great to use as it created an immediate bond, so there was no waiting around for glue to dry.
