Daffodils by Design

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• 1 Sheet of white crepe paper
• 1 Sheet of dark bright pink crepe paper
• 1 Sheet of dark olive green crepe paper
• 1 Sheet of peach crepe paper
• 1 Package of floral wire
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Cricut® machine

DIRECTIONS:

1. Download into your Design Space: #MAFADA11.
2. In Design space, decide how big you want the flowers to be. 7" for the green leaves are a nice standard sized flower.
3. Cut out each shape with the correct crepe paper.
4. With your hot glue gun, overlap the white petals and glue in the center. You will use three petals, making a total of 6. Stretch out the petals to make them feel like real flowers.
5. Take one stem of floral wire and make a coil on one end, about the size of a large blueberry. Bend it sideways.
6. Glue the white flower onto the coiled floral wire.
7. Slide the green base onto the floral wire and push it up to cover the coil.
8. Glue two green leaves onto the floral stem. Stretch out the leaves to look natural.
9. Roll the center piece of the flower and glue the edges to make a tube.
10. Glue the peach or pink tube onto the center of the flower.
11. Gather the bright pink center crepe into a bunch at the base. Place a small dab of glue on the bunch and insert into the center tube on the flower.

JOANN HACKS:

• Add additional pieces of crepe into the tube to make it appear fuller and more natural.
