Fold and dip.....That's the key!
Glaze Coat Epoxy Resin 18 gage wire Wire cutters 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" colored office paper Clothespins Hot glue gun White school glue Yarn or twine
1. Fold the square in half on the diagonal to form a triangle 2. Fold the left and right corners up to meet the top point and form a square 3. Fold the front points out so each outer edge lines up with the edge of the square 4. Unfold the last fold then open each side up into a pocket and flatten each pocket out along the crease lines you just made, to form a kite shape 5. Fold the tip of each kite shape forward along the line of the edge of the paper to form a triangle 6. Fold the lower edge of each side up along the existing crease 7. Add a thin layer of glue along one of the front flaps 8. Use a clothespin to hold them together until the glue dries 9. Continue making 5 petals for each flower
See how I did it here:
10. Glue groups of 2 and 3 together and let dry 11. Glue the sets of 2 and 3 together to create a complete flower 12. Add hot glue to the end of a 12" piece of wire 13. Insert the wire into the center of the flower to create a stem 14. Mix the Glaze Coat in a container large enough to dip the flowers 15. Dip the flowers in the Glaze Coat and hang to dry on a mini clothesline *Make sure you have plenty of newspaper under the clothesline to catch the dripping Glaze Coat
