In this craft, we are going to do a centerpiece for our house to get dressed in good weather. We are going to use other crafts made on our website: candles and lotus flowers.
Are you ready?
Materials that we are going to need
- Tray or basket, I recommend a wooden tray.
- Flowers (prepe paper of various colors for flowers and leaves, silicone gun and scissors)
- Stones
- Vela
Hands on craft
- The first we are going to make the base of our centerpiece with the tray and the pebbles.
- We will put the candle where we like it the most, I have chosen to put it in the center at the end. You can see how to make this beautiful candle here: safe and warm candles.
- Now we are going to put the flowers, to which we will add some leaves on green crepe paper. You can see how to make the lotus flower here: Easy crepe paper lotus flower. But also, we are going to do another flower on crepe paper in a different way where it is more closed.
- To make this last flower, we are going to cut one crepe paper strip, we fold it in many places until it is a finger and a half wide. We cut in a triangular shape, without finishing cutting the edges so that the entire strip remains together. We unfold the part on the table.
- On the other hand we take another strip of paper of another color, this will be the center. We cut half into strips making fringes and we roll this part. We open the fringes well.
- We roll the center on the previous strip. The important thing is to roll it up putting the center in the middle of the strip and then roll it up.
- Now let's go unfolding the petals of the outer crepe paper. We tie this new flower one finger below the end of the center and we cut below the rope and voila. A nice detail is to leave the strings of the rope hanging as part of the decoration.
And ready! I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
