Bright sunshine for my lil corner :)

Happpiiieee Monday!!

Hey freinds...today I played with some trash and with few of my washis :) I always loved to treasure nice perfume/ deo bottles...I don't consider them as trash....so I have one of these vacant bottle of David off cool water deo.... ( ignore this as this is a full one :)
Now I thought of creating some sense out of the vacant bottle and wanted to work with washis....so I tried creating some artifical flowers from washi....this is something very easy and interesting to make :)
Take washi tapes, floral wire and flower stamens.

To make flowers...
take one 6 inches floral wire... I just wanted to add all the flowers in a single wire otherwise you can take one length per flower petal.
Now to create petal loops...wrap the center of each wire around a pen/ pencil or any other round object but keep in mind it should be less than the diameter of the width of washi tape to create petal loops.

create your own desired petal shape. Now put it on a washi tape half the length and fold the remaining tape over. press it so that it can be glued together and then trim with craft scissor to create your own desired petal shapes. Sorry for the bad quality of pics :(

Now you will have your flower petals ....
For the leaves make the wire straight and cover it with washi at diffrent lengths. Lateron, trim it with a scissor to get the desired shape. Place flower stamens between 5 flower petals. Wrap it with tape several times even after adding leaves to it. Wrap the floral wire till the end and then give  those flower petals a desired shape by pressing a bit.

 These are so beautiful and bright....
Now here comes my bottle.....
 I wrapped around my scrap glitter paper cutting...and few roles of my washi tape....topped it with some bling...at the bottom you can find shimmer with some sea embellishments...they were actually going along well with this sea blue bottle I guess... few months back we camped at deodhar forest from where I have collected these wooden flowers to use in my projects or pot potpourri...so here's my first attempt to show case it as a embellishment....i painted with silver pearl glitter acrylic paint.

Now here's the complete look....

Hope you will like it :)

Happy Crafting!!
