1. Paper flowers
All you will need is some coloured paper cut into 10 cm circles you will need 6 for each flower, a wooden barbecue skewer, some old buttons and if you have one a glue gun works best for these!
Cut out your 6 x10cm circles and fold each on in half then into a quarter. Fold the edge back on itself as shown in the photos.
Do this with all 6 circles. Once they are folded glue each petal together so that it looks like this and you should have 6 petals ready to glue together.
Carefully glue each on together until they form the flower shape and let it dry.
Glue your skewer into place as the stem and glue a button on the top……easy!
2. Paper Circles
All you will need is 12-14 rectangles of card and some PVA glue. Start with bigger rectangles of 15cm x 5 cm as you get better you can make them smaller.
Fold your rectangle in half then fold it back like making the point like a paper aeroplane. Turn it over and fold in the bottom corners followed by folding up the bottom edge making a triangle. Repeat with the other 12 rectangles.
Slot them together as shown in the pictures each time pop a bit of PVA glue on the edges before you slot them together.
Gradually you can make the circle shape and join the first triangle to the last. Leave it to dry and then if you have a piece of ribbon or wool you could add a hanger.
3. Painted stones
One of the most fun things to do……..you can let your imagination run riot! Mandalas are lovely to paint but you can draw or paint whatever you like.
I like to use Posca pens if you can them they are easy to use and much less messy than paints!
Happy making, from Jude @ Hellygog
