Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals : Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

Beautiful Stephanie!! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful pictures and thanks for linking up! Have a lovely evening!;-)
ReplyDeleteYou got some lovely pictures. I woke up this morning and it felt so cold on my way to work at Ft. Carson this morning and I looked over the mountains and saw the clouds. Got a lovely picture as well. I'm just starting to get accustomed to living in CO and so far I've loved. Quite a change from NY but the differences is what make me love it. :)
ReplyDeleteMichell, thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up Madison, oh how wonderful! It's always nice being able to capture something you find beautiful. I think sunsets are beautiful here. :) Thanks for stopping by.
