Description

Give simple vases a bespoke look with a colourful array of leather flowers.

Instructions

1. With a craft knife, cut 2 – 4 cm leather strips about 20 – 30 cm in length. Fold the strips lengthwise, wrong sides facing, and glue together along the bottom.

2. Cut parallel lines along the top fold to about 2/3 of the width of the strip.

3. 

   Roll the strip into a flower, pushing up the inside slightly for a three-dimensional effect. Secure the bottom with glue.

4. Glue a leather circle over the bottom part and attach the flowers to the vase with double-sided tape. Tip / Glue snap fasteners to the vase and the underside of the flowers. This allows the flowers to be easily removed from the vase for cleaning.
