Wall Decoration with Flowers

-

Some may not have enough money to buy decorations for their home, apartment, dorm etc. However, the flower wall is fairly inexpensive and easy to make. For those who don’t have quite the patience of making things from scratch, you’re in luck! In this article i am presenting you "The flower wall" which takes about 10 minutes to make. The flower wall can transform a boring old living room wall into something beautiful.

Step 1: Gather Materials

What you’ll need:
  • Hot glue gun
  • [2] Glue sticks
  • Thumbtacks/pins
  • Fishing line (see pic on step 4)
  • Scissors
  • [2] Bouquet of synthetic flowers
  • Recommendation: Wire cutters
You can find these materials at your local Walmart, Walgreens, or any craft stores near you. Imagine what you want your flower wall will look like, pick a color scheme, and buy 2 sets of flower bouquets.

Step 2: Measure and Cut Flowers

  • First, you’ll need to cut and separate the bouquet(s) to make them into individual flower stems. You can buy individual flowers at the store, but our recommendation is to buy bouquets to lessen the price of the materials. Regular scissors work, but we suggest the use of wire cutters to make a simple cut. Each flower stem should be at least 5 inches long.
  • Next, depending on how big you want your flower wall to be, you might need more that 2 sets of flower bouquets. Once the flowers are cut, lay out the flower stems into whatever pattern you desire. One strand requires at least 5 flower stems. Depending on how long you want your flower wall to be, you can add more flower stems to the strands. We chose 5 strands with 6 flower stems as seen below.

Step 3: Glue

  • Once you lay out your flower stems into strands, it’s time to glue! Starting with the first strand, glue the petal of the second flower to the bottom of the first flower stem. Repeat this until you have a full strand glued together.

Step 4: Attach Fishing Line

  • When you have your strands complete, it’s time to attach the fishing line. Take about 4 inches of fishing line and tie it to the first flower of the strand. This allows you to hang your flower wall.

Step 5: Hang Flower Wall

  • Lastly, tie the end of the fish wire to a pushpin or thumbtack. Hang your flower wall to your desired location and height

How to make a high quality stamp out of your favorite logo or symbol. You will need the following materials: Speedball 6-Inch by 12-Inch Speedy-Carve Block Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment 1 which contains a straight bits & gouging bits 5 Minute Two-Part Epoxy Scrap wood for handle Polyurethane spray and finally an ink pad! Step 1: Select a favorite symbol or logo to use as a stamp Start by selecting a few black and white logos, symbols or other emblems that you would be interested in having a stamp of. It could even be some text. Just try to avoid an image with very thin lines as these can be difficult to carve, and can bend/collapse under the pressure of stamping down. Using an image editing program or even MS Word, create a black background and arrange them to appear side by side. Having the black background helps a lot when transferring images to rubber sheet. *Note*  There is no need to mirror/reverse anything as they will st

Step 2 in Paper lamps

Step 2: Experiment, experiment, experiment I cut out many circles of paper by hand and experimented to see what I could make them do. The larger paper had a floppy quality and I found that by mixing a bit of elmers glue with water, I could make the paper temporarily flimsy, influence the shape, and let it dry to form a rippled texture. Due to the weight of the paper, the dried vellum had flowing, smooth curves instead of lighter weight paper that will just wrinkle. For the water/glue mix, try your own ratios. I found mostly water and a bit of glue mixed together to a milky solution was perfect (probably a 6 or 8:1 ratio water:glue) and then I just reached my hand in and spread it over the paper, gently coating the surface in a thin layer of liquid. As I was experimenting, I ran out of room on my desk and started stacking up the small circles of paper and realized I really liked the stack. This became the main concept for the lamp.
