Instructions
- Wrap the scrapbook paper
around the cleaned chip can. Trim the
paper to fit around the can with a little over hang on the ends. Coat the back
of the paper with Mod Podge. Position
the paper on the chip can. Top-coat with
a coat of Mod Podge. Use your fingers to
press out any air bubbles. Smooth your
brushstrokes. Allow to dry.
- Paint the Popsicle sticks
Citrus Green. Allow to dry. Cut one of the sticks in half. Glue the sticks to the chip can in the style
of flower stems.
- Glue flowers and buttons to
the flower stems. Glue ribbon around the
top of the chip can.
- For each flower you will need
to paint two coffee filters. Open and
flatten the filters. Place them on wax
paper.
Dry-brush paint the
flowers. Begin with a small amount of
Aqua paint on your brush. Lightly paint
the filters working from the inside of the circle to the outer edge. Leave white spaces to add highlights to the
flowers.
- Add glitter highlights by
randomly painting a coat of Turquoise Extreme Glitter over the filters.
- Place the two filters
wrong-sides together. Pierce the center
with the bamboo skewer. Slide the
filters to almost the end of the skewer.
Add a drop of glue and scrunch the filters to form a flower.
- Tie a piece of yarn around
the bottom of the flower. Wrap the yarn
around the base of the flower and to the skewer-stem, tie the end in a knot to
secure.
