The new kitchen re-do has inspired some additional crafts to add those "final touches". I saw this cute post on Pinterest and loved them. She gave great instructions picture by picture. There is also a video but I didn't have to watch it as the pictures were good enough. Since I already had burlap on hand, this craft was free. And it only took about 20 minutes for 4 of them. I made mine quite a bit larger since they were going on top of the fridge and I wanted to make sure they could be seen.
I cut mine about 3" wide and double the width of the burlap (I guess 36"). I also used pipe cleaner for the stems. They went in a vase so you can't see them but it keeps them upright.
I did the vases a few years ago from an article in Martha Stewart about making mercury glass. I don't really like them up close but they look good on top of the fridge.

I've been making flowers this morning.. I will have to add these to my list to try. I've always wondered about that diy mercury glass.
ReplyDeleteThose turned out great--I really like them. I will have to see if there is a tutorial on that link. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! The flowers look perfect in the vases. Do you still have the article from martha stewart for those? I'd love to give them a try!
