The Modern Flower

How to make your own Modern Flower


Supplies needed
Tear Drop cutter
Wires
Ball tool or celpin
Foam pad
Apply crate or similar

 
Technique:
Cut out tear drop shape
Insert Wire
With ball tool or celpin using foam pad or palm of your hand
     -Gently roll tool of your choice around in a circle over the entire petal to hallow it out slighlty so it curves.
Lay in apple crate or similar with a nice curve and let dry.

I make petals in odd numbers per layer.
Continue as large as you want the flower with any size petals
You can use each size or skip one for a more dramatic look and less petals

Just keep in mind the larger they are the heavier they are and a bit more tricky to wire 
Use the right size gauge wire (strong enough to hold the petal)
