DIY Wedding Button Hole Flowers
Materials:
-scrap paper
-florist tape and wire or a green pipe cleaner could be used
-buttons
-double sided sticky tape
-scissors
Step 1 Cut a freehand circle out of your chosen paper and then cut it into a spiral. Mine was 6cm in diameter.
Step 2
Curl the spiral up around the centre and then let it uncurl a bit. Tape the outer end of the spiral to the rest of the flower with sticky tape to stop it uncurling too much
Step 3
Step 4
Attach a button with double sided tape or glue. Wrap some florists tape around a doubled over piece of florist wire and stick it to the back of the flower with sticky tape. You could use a green pipe cleaner here if you don't have florists wire and tape.
Make some more in different colours to make a cluster. The flowers can be joined together by wrapping florists tape around the two stems.
-two small squares of yellow crepe paper (3cm x3cm)
-pink crepe paper cut into petal shapes (the middles can be dyed red with food dye if you like)
-yellow paper with a fine fridge cut on one side (I used a yellow sticky note)
-florists tape
-florists wire
Step 1 Double over a piece of florist wire and scrunch up a small piece of crepe paper for the center of the flower.
Step 2 Wrap a small square of crepe paper over the crepe paper ball and wire and tightly wrap florists tape around the stem to hold the ball on top of the wire.
Step 3
Wrap the fringed paper around the flower center and then wrap some florists tape around it tightly to hold it all together. Trim the fringes to the desired length.
Step 4
Place petals around the center one at a time and attach by tightly wrapping florists tape around them. Slightly overlap each petal and continue adding them until your flower is the desired size and shape. I used 15 petals.Once you have made one you can make other flowers by changing the paper colours and playing with petal shape and length.
Have fun!!
