As promised, here is my “tutorial” for making orchids from the Bouquet Bigz Die found in the Occasions catalog. I was in a bit of a hurry when I was making these …so please forgive the the “neatness” factor of my photos!!!
My glue gun went a little wild!! The end result is what counts…right?? So here goes….
 | ||||
| ||||
 |
| Add a drop of hot glue |
 |
| and connect split end to give dimension |
 |
| Do this to all five petals and cut a Melon Mambo flower center |
 |
| Then starting with the 3 small petals, connect them together..(wild glue gun!!) |
 |
| This is why I used hot glue....other adhesives pulled apart |
 |
| Add the 2 larger petals as shown |
 |
| (a little rough looking) |
 |
| Sponge some crushed curry in the center....because it is not smooth, it doesn't look to "pretty" yet! |
 |
| Fold the center into fourths |
 |
| Add to orchid center and when it is done they look lovely! |
Hawaii here we come!!!
until next time…..
