WOYWW 177

OK - first of all an apology, as I didn't take the photos when I was making these flowers, as I was actually making them late at night whilst watching a TV programme from my work-bed!!  All I have is the finished products.  Again I humbly apologise and will try to do better next time.  I hope I don't get kicked out of the WOYWW group for not following the instructions to the letter :(  I know some groups have very specific rules and regulations, so I'm sorry if I've upset anyone and will promise to do it the right way round next time as I've done in the past.  It's a one off 'naughty moment'. Sorry!

 

I've had this idea in my head for a while but have never had the courage to give it a go as it all looks so complicated.  However I  made these on my work-bed last night, it was my first effort at making them and I was quite pleased with how they turned out.

First of all I made the little watering can.  It only had one side spout in the instructions so I decided to make two so that you can't see the white card from any angle.  I added sone die cut borders to the bottom if the watering can.  t's a bit shaded in this picture but I took it this morning in the dim grey light of October.

Some of the flowers have six petals and some have five.  It said to use wet glue in the instructions, but I found that it didn't dry totally on the paper I was using, so I got my 'red tape' to hand and it stuck to everything including my fingers!  Finally I managed to complete the flowers and I put them in the watering can to totally dry (the wet glue ones!).

Here's a close up of one flower.  It's an ideal crafty make to use up those odd bits of paper you have.  Remember to 'Use It Up 2012' !!!  I added on the card candi to make them look better, my own addition to the flower.  Well us crafters always add our own thoughts to the things we make don't we...that's what makes us crafters!

 

Enjoy!
