3DTransparency Flowers - REALLY
This is an amazing little discovery I'm hoping you will try.
Supplies:
stazon ink
stamp image
2 flower shapes, one smaller, one larger
piercing tool (long pin)
brad
heat gun
1. Trace your two flowers onto a piece of transparency.
2. Cut the flowers out. Rounded edge flowers work the best.
3. Stamp an image onto the flowers.
4. Pierce the center of a flower and hold it on the pin.
5. Heat the center of the flower until it bends/contorts. Do not melt your flower. Slow and steady.
6. Remove it from the pin and do your second flower in the same way.
7. Join the two flowers with a brad.

2. Cover both flowers with patterned paper.
3. Using a cropodile, punch small holes around the inside edge of your smallest flower.
4. With your piece of wire, insert it into a hole on the front of your small flower from the front.
5. Attach two small beads.
6. Cross the wire across to the hole opposite of the hole you put your first wire in.
7. Continue in the pattern until all your holes are wired.
8. Fasten off the two pieces of wire at the back.

Placemat diecuts
OK, does it get any greener than this?? My LSS indulges my fantasies and I love them for it!! One day I asked if I could use the die cut machine to make these, yes was the answer and a new local trend was born.
All you need to make these embellies is old placemats and a die-cut machine!!
Choose your favorite mat and cut away!!
