I came up with this idea while trying to figure out a handmade gift for a friend who also happened to love wine.
I came up with this idea while trying to figure out a handmade gift for a friend who also happened to love wine.
Supplies needed: (clockwise from top) -materials to construct flowers (in my case, felt and shimmer material) -Stiffy -a cork -E-6000 (my favorite) -Round circle of felt -Glitter (optional) -Paint brush
1. Take your circle of felt (which will make up the base) and douse it using a paint brush with Stiffy. Make sure both sides are coated. Let dry completely. 2. Make a few flowers using various tutorials. Play around with different kinds and sizes. 3. Again, douse each flower with a paint brush and Stiffy. If desired, sprinkle with glitter before it dries. Let dry completely. 4. Play around with arranging the flowers on your circle base. When you've settled on a layout, glue each flower down with E-6000.
Using E-6000 again, glue the flower arrangement base onto a cork. If needed, set something heavy on top while it's drying (which I did just in case to make sure it adhered really well).
Enjoy your kitsch-tastic wine (or champagne) bottle stopper :)
