30th project completed - a pair of simple flower earrings

Good evening all,


I think you will like this project, it is so simple yet very 'cool'. this week I have made a pair of cute flower earrings from the leaflets, some craft foam and some earring backs I had in my jewellery making kit!


Modelled here by my beautiful daughter!

Materials needed

• Coloured junk mail leaflets
• Hole punch
• PVA Glue
• Multi use adhesive such as UHU
• Earring backs
• Scrap of craft foam
• Pair of very sharp small scissors

Instructions

1. Using the hole punch cut some tiny circles out from coloured areas of your leaflets

2. Glue them onto your scrap of craft foam using PVA glue to make small flower shapes and leave to dry

3. Once dry, cover with a thick layer of PVA glue to protect them and leave them to dry completely.

4. Once dry, cut out your shapes and glue on an earring back with the multi use adhesive. There we have it some cute flower earrings.

30th Project announcement

Firstly I must apologise that this post is late. I had a lovely weekend playing with the steam engine at Netley Marsh steam rally. But unfortunately I got very sunburnt and by the time I got home last night I felt dreadful and fell into bed feeling very sorry for myself!


Anyway I feel fine this morning so I beg your forgiveness, and I must get on to this week's materials.

Junk mail!




I hate junk mail and we seem to get so much of it, why these companies waste their money sending me this stuff I will never understand. It always seems to go straight in the bin but seeing as they have paid for it I might as well use it!
