Sheet Music Roses Tutorial

My tutorial for this week is....

Sheet Music Paper Roses!

Here's what you need: 

Supplies:

-Sheet Music

-Silhouette (optional, or just scissors)

-Pen

-Tea, kettle, flat pan

-Hot Glue

-Glass bottle

-Spray Paint

-Fabric & cord scraps

Steps:

Step 1: Prepare your sheet music. I wanted my flowers to look more antique, so I dyed the sheet music using tea.  Pour some hot water onto tea bags in a flat pan and let them tea seep for a bit.

 Step 2: Soak your sheet music pages in the tea for a few minutes, and then take them out and let them dry. I laid them out on a cookie sheet while they dried.

Step 3: While the paper is drying, prepare your vase for the flowers. I just spray painted a glass snapple bottle. 

Step 4: After the sheet music has dried, load it into your silhouette and cut out the 3D paper rose shape.  Don't have a silhouette? You can just cut it out using scissors, the shape is not that difficult.

Step 5: Form the roses by rolling the paper cutout tightly around a pencil or pen. I added a dab of hot glue occasionally so they would keep their shape better.

Step 6: I made the stems for the flowers by twisting two pieces of green wire together, and then hot gluing it to the inside of the flower. 

Step 7: Add any decorative touches to the flower vase. I just hot-glued a scrap of fabric around it and tied a piece of twine on top.

Don't mind my crappy spray paint job. This was my first time spray painting. And it was windy. Do a better job for me, k??

Then stick your flowers in the vase, and you are good to go!!

Prettyyyyy. I'll be linking up to all the link parties listed in my header!
