Duct Tape Flower Card

This is a A2 size card.  The black flower is made from duct tape and it's also a hair barrette, it can be removed from the card easily.  I thought this would be  very cool Birthday card.

Step by Step instructions for duct tape flower.

1 - Cut off 8 2" pieces of duct tape and 4 1" pieces of duct tape.

2 - First start off with 4 2" pieces. Fold one corner over

3 - Then fold the other side to create a triangle.  Do this to all 4 pieces.

4 - Now stick all four pieces together to create a square.

5 - Now start with the remaining 4 2" pieces and fold them over to create a triangle again

6 - Now place the 2" triangles around the square, by pinching the center to create a ruffles.

7 - Now with the 1" pieces create triangles and place them on top

8 - Cut a round piece of duct tape and place in the center of the flower, also add one the back of the flower

9 - Add a rhine stone in the center and glue a barrette on the back and your flower is complete



On the front of the card I  punched two holes so I can insert the barrette

Phewww! now that was a long step by step instructions.
I hope I was able to explain how to create this duct tape flower well.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for stopping by and please leave a comment.

Wire Ribbon Flowers

Another step by step instructions for creating flowers. This idea has been floating in my head for a few days, so I decided to give it a shot. These little flowers are so adorable very easy to make and are wonderful embellishments for your projects.
Materials:
1" wired ribbon 6" long
nose pliers
glue gun
1 Rhine stone

First you will need to remove one side of the wire from the ribbon.

Then you will need to  pull the other side of the wire on both ends

 Now gather the ribbon and twist the wire close to the ribbon to make a circle

adjust the ribbon, clip the excess wire and glue the two ends together.

now,  all you need to do is add a rhine stone in the center

and that's it! very simple and beautiful, you can experiment with all kinds of wire ribbon.
I hope you enjoyed my step by step instructions.  Leave me a comment of your thoughts.
Thanks
