Petal Cloud Tutorial

A few years agone I made a wreath next this tutorial at MaryJanes as well as Galoshes. While making decorations for a infant shower, I scrounged roughly ane of my (sadly, many) miscellaneous arts and crafts boxes as well as flora some 4x4 canvases. Why non role the wreath technique to brand something else--something I already had the materials for? And that's how Petal Clouds were born!

Supplies:

• 4x4 inch sail (or sail or painting present frame inwards whatever size you lot desire)

• Unsharpened pencil (or colored pencil)

• Coffee filters (8 to 12 loving cup size)

• Glue gun + mucilage sticks

• Paint, brush as well as newspaper plate OR spray pigment (optional)

Prepare your canvas. If it's already white, congratulations! Skip this step!  Mine had a blueprint as well as needed to last painted.

Flip the sail over.

Find either an unsharpened pencil or a colored pencil. We postulate a apartment end.

While you're looking for a pencil, pick out grip of some java filters as well as a mucilage gun! My gun as well as I convey gone through some tough times together. 

Those mucilage drips are battle scars, my friend.

Place the centre of the java filter on the apartment halt of the pencil. Scrunch the sides roughly the pencil. 

Add a drib of mucilage to the flattened halt of the java filter.

Before the mucilage hardens, press the flattened halt into the dorsum of the canvas.

And straight off I postulate you lot to create every bit I tell as well as non every bit I do. Fill inwards ane corner as well as become to some other corner earlier working inward. Trust me. If you lot starting fourth dimension at ane halt as well as proceed going, filters volition argument as well as mucilage won't convey a adventure to adhere to the canvas. Like this.

Should await similar this ane time it's all filled in.

You could pigment the edges to stand upwards for your decor:

Ta-da! H5N1 lovely Petal Cloud that seems to float on the tabular array top.
