Crafty Wednesday...

There are so many fun crafts out there and so little time to try them out.  I do have one that is a little time consuming but, if you have a favorite show and some little helpers, it goes by so quick and it's super easy!  Here's what you'll need:



*Cricut or flower paper punch
*coordinating scrapbook paper
*Styrofoam (circles, wreath, whatever you want)
*push pins


The first time consuming thing is to cut out (or punch out) your flowers.  For the Styrofoam balls I cut out about 150, 1" flowers with my Cricut. It will also depend on how big you want your flowers.  Play around and see what you like best.  Now, take about half those little flowers that you cut out and blend the leaves up. The others will be the foundation to cover up the Styrofoam.  This is where your favorite show comes in and those cute little helper hands.  Once all the leaves are ready, you can start pinning them to your Styrofoam.  You can use these cuties as topiaries, decorative balls, or wreaths.  Super fun "summer" project, even though summer's almost over.  Happy crafting!
