Easy Primula

Hi. Thanks for stopping by.
This primula is another easy flower to make.
I haven't used any heat or a glue gun.

This flower is made using Foamiran,
You can use any 5 petal die that has a similar shape to the one I have used.

Cut two of your flowers
I used a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen
and a dry baby wipe to colour the edges.
Pleat the edge of each petal individually and roll
between your finger and thumb.
This is what they will look like after you've pleated
all 5 petals on each flower.
Now stretch the each petal at the centre with your thumbs.
Using a sponge press the centre of each of your die cuts
with either a ball tool, or the end of a paint brush.
This will lift the petals.
I use an ordinary washing up sponge as I can press the
centres deeper than with a flower shaping mat.
Now glue one die cut on top of the other
offset the petals slightly.
Press into the centre of your flower again
to make sure all the petals are raised.
Add two leaves to the back of your flower.
Add a gem to the centre of your flower.

Now wasn't that easy to make

Thanks for taking the time to look.
Please feel free to leave me a comment.

Love

Easy Lillies



Hi. Thanks for stopping by.
I thought that we'd start off with some easy, simple flowers.
These don't need heat to shape them.
Or hot glue to stick them together.

This is what the finished Lilly looks like.

These are the items that I've used.



I shaped the Petals by just bending them over my finger.


Then I twisted the top of each individual petal 
between my thumb and finger. Just stretch the centre 
of each petal slightly with your thumbs.


I coloured the centre of each petal using a dry baby wipe
and an Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen.

You can use any glue to stick the Petals and leaves together.
Offset the Petals so that they overlap each other.
Using either a ball tool or the end of a paint brush
push down in the centre of the flower to raise the Petals slightly.
Stick the leaves on the back of the flower.


I hope that my instructions make sense
and that you find them easy to use.
Please let me know if there is anything special that you would like to see.

Love
Chris
