And here is my project for you
Today I'll show you how to make a fast and easy Hair Flower. You can even make these to match your holiday outfits... as long as you have the colors of Smooch Spritz that match your clothes ;)
Die cut 8 flowers out of The Crafty Chronicle using the #6 die from my Carnation Creations dies
Cut 1 piece of denim that is just slightly larger than the dies and a 2nd to attach the bobby pin
Die cut and create a large Bitty Blossom out of ivory colored paper: Video instructions HERE
Spritz 2 flowers with Evergreen Smooch Spritz and the other 6 with Holly Berries.
Then all you have to do is glue the flowers together with the petals offset, adhere the Bitty Blossom to the middle and adhere the whole flower to the denim.
Here is a Hyperspeed video of me making the flower start to finish:
Don't forget to come back by for my new product Launch Party that begins on November 27th!
Thanks for stopping by! Smooches ~D~
