Hanging Flowers

Here's a little something I made using these kraft flowers from Craftwork Cards.  Unfortunately I didn't get a good full picture of this hanging up but here are photos of the three individual flowers.  Each of these was made by gluing three kraft flowers together.  I made the curly centres by using one of the kraft flowers with long petals, cutting down the centre of each petal and then twisting them. I then attached small die cut flowers (Tim Holtz - Tattered Florals die) to the centres of the curly flowers and added a piece of crushed Candi to finish them off.

The three completed flowers are attached together with twine and I threaded this through several pieces of Candi above each flower.




Here is one of the flowers laid on its side so you can see the dimension of it.


And finally a picture of the whole thing laid down:


I must say I was very pleased with this - I had a 'lightbulb moment' in the middle of the night about sticking the the flowers together to create something dimensional!
