Pixie Stick Flowers...

An old friend of mine GILLIAN is disgustingly talented!

She thinks of SO many creative ideas..does these amazing scrapbook pages...she is talented in so many ways. 

*notice the cute bows on her daughters head...ya she made those*

Today Gillian shared THIS adorable idea on her blog!!

PIXIE STICK FLOWERS

*she made hers for valentines day - but they would be so cute for ANY occasion*

 

  

Wanna know how we made them?

Here you go!

 

1. Start off with 1 sheet of 12x12 paper.  I used a K&CO Valentine pad with die cuts from Michaels.

2. Cut 2 and a half strips of paper- 3 inches wide.

3. Accordion fold all 3 strips of paper.

4-6. Using strong tape, adhere the 3 pieces together into a long strip.

7. Adhere both ends of the long strip together forming a circle.

8. The circle will pop up into a cup like shape. (It's annoying!)

9. Using a glue gun, adhere a glittered heart to the front of the paper ring.

10. Using a glue gun, adhere the paper from the Giant Pixie Stick to the back of the paper ring.

11. Stick a large die cut over the paper from the Giant Pixie Stick.

12. Add a die cut to the glittery heart on front.

13. Tie a bow below the paper ring and use a drop of glue to hold it in place.
