Rose wreath wall craft with rice bag and color stones!

Hi, today we are going to make a beautiful wall craft with rice bag. Usually, we will throw the rice bag, if it has damage or the time we don't want to use it anymore, but we can also make many beautiful crafts with it, one of them is "beautiful ROSE wreath", that is we are going to see its making now...
Click here to see the tutorial video of this craft.

Materials used:

Rice bags

Glue gun

Scissors

Color stones
Pizza cover or any packing box cardboard cover

Description:

For making flowers:
Cut the rice bag into thin strips. Take a strip in hand, hold its one end as like in the picture, and fold the end like "V" shape. (Please do not think that I did this in one hand, I hold the flower in one hand and took photos using the other one.)
Using the other hand, hold the tip of the "V" section, and start to roll-up to make the center bud. 
Then, twist the strip and roll the flower, twist and roll..., towards the strip end. 
During this process, we should hold the flower tightly, or else, the layers will get loose and end up with the separation of twisted layers.
Glue the end with the lower side of the flower using hot glue gun. 
Apply hot glue between the layers and press the flower surrounding it from all the sides for strong fixing of the layers.
Do flowers as many as needed to make a wreath.

For making wreath:
Cut the cardboard cover like a ring (or donut) shape. 
Fix the flowers one by one over the whole ring leaving little space at both edges.
Fix the flowers using hot glue gun, and once applied the glue, press the flower with the cardboard till the flower get fixed rigidly. Glue the flowers closely without space.
If you like colorful flowers, paint the flowers as you want. I used the flowers without colored.
For decoration:
Decorate both edges of the ring with color stones to give border to the flowers.
Instead of color stones, we can also use big shining beads to decorate the border.
I have used red, green and blue color resin stones. We can also paint the normal pebble stones with nail polishes and decorate the borders. 
That's all... A beautiful wall craft is ready to hang...
Hang the craft on wall using a push pin. 
This craft is very simple to make, all we want to spend some more time to make flowers in large numbers. we can do it side by side watching tv, chatting with family.
Hope you will like this craft, feel free to give your comments and feedback. Thanks.

  4. Do you know any substitute for hot glue gun?

    I'm little bit afraid to use hot glue gun with a naughty toddler around.

    1. We can use the instant dry glue but this one is more powerful, so we have to be very careful in using this... low heat glue gun is preferable...
