Flower centers - experiment

[poshnpretty]

These are the 2 inch daisy flowers from Haloheaven. Many do not use the foam felt centers when making hair clippies, so this might be new to you.

Let it dry. And do not let your kids touch it!

I had to restart again, you know why(read above)! This time it is red glitter.Let it completely dry, shake off the excess glitter and add the folk art hi gloss to seal it.

Use E6000 and glue everything together!

My pathetic silver glitter!:o

This is just an inspiration. U can also use this as sprinkles for your felt icecream clips and many more projects.

I like the sparkly look.

Laughing at your kids making you start over, lol. :rofl:

Very cute but does the glitter fall out everywhere? I might try to do one with spray glitter.

No it doesnt fall:). Once it is dry, tap the center to remove the excess glitter, then spray with hi shine gloss(non yellowing). It is like a rock now:girly:

That makes the flower look so mych better. Thanks for sharing that tip.

[TheCraftyMe]

That is Real CUTE!!

Nice Idea. I never would have come up with something like that. LOL

[beansnana]

I have not used flowers as of yet, but know they tell you how to take them apart and relayer them. I like the added touch of glitter. It makes it have more pizazz. Thanks for sharing

[StitchezUtl]

O my i have to buy some glitter now. my hubby is going to freak lol

Heather

[theresabuck]

You are full of great ideas!

[mom2girls]

i agree, full of ideas, i wish i could come up with stuff like this lol

[beansnana]

I love these forums, you can learn so much from so many different people. And if you have half an idea, present it and get others opinions and a whole idea has been formed. :001_huh: LOL Made sense when I was typing, now I am not sure. But you get it, right?

Makes perfect sense and I DO know what you mean.

[Didee54]

Those are pretty.

[theresabuck]

I love these flowers. I think I'm going to try some today. I'll post pics if they turn out.

[pinklemonadebowtique]

that is a great idea thanks for sharing:3:

[LilyK]

They are cute. Great idea.

[maeve33]

I've used the original centres but i never decorated them with anything.....sooooooooooooo cute! I have to try this....

[Idahomommyof4]

This is such a great idea! I haven't been doing this long, but have done enough flowers that the middles usually are kinda ugly but I am such a CHEAPSKATE lol, that I keep the middles even though I remove them & do something else in the middle ;) I was thinki that there had to be a way to put some on it to fix it to look better :) Thanks for the tip!!!

[thatlittleboutique]

Never thought of the hi gloss. I will have to get some next time I am at Joanns

[Ms. Wildflower]

"Great"...something I now have to buy...lol! Good job and very pretty!!

[nataliabarba]

very pretty thankyou =)

[mommygolightly]

this may sound stupid but... does the gloss dull the sparkle of the glitter? I have tried sealing glitter before (not with the high gloss you mentioned) and it dulled it.

Very cute idea by the way! :0)

[treefrogggin]

Love these, have to try them! Thanks for the info.:girly:

[treefrogggin]

Oh I likie this a lot

[stampinarmywife]

What a great idea, I love the red one. Do you have to hot glue each layer of flower?

[IzzyB]

I like it! Wonder if you can do the same with those tiny seed beads? Hmmmm off to the craft table!

[vmommy]

I just can't keep up with all these great ideas I wanna try out! Haha =) adding this to the list....

[hiltonclan4]

ooooooooooh....I love that. I'm going to have to try that out too. My to do list keeps growing by the minute.

[chippychick]

That's how I make mine

Clever, Clever.. I just tossed all my plastic last night. Only save the greens. Oh well.. live and learn Right?

[jhall52]

Sparkly things are my downfall. You'd think by my age I'd have gotten over it...nope. Still like them bright and full of glitter!

[hiltonclan4]

You never outgrow sparkly!

[tdawns79]

[samomof3]
