Flower vase with Crepe paper Chrysanthemum flowers!

Most people are familiar with crepe paper streamers, but we can also make various kinds of flowers with these crepe papers. I have tried a flower vase with paper chrysanthemum flowers. This is very easy to do and we need only three thing to make it out.
Click here to visit my tutorial video of this craft.

Materials used:

Crepe papers
            - red and white for petals
            - yellow for stamen
            - green for calyx
Floral wire
Floral tape
Floral arranger  or any vase

Description:

For making stamen: Take an yellow crepe paper and fold it 3-4 times to get a length of each fold with approximately 1.5 inches, and cut through the folds to get individual sheets.
Arrange the sheets equally, and hold the sheets on one side, and cut deeply and closely on the other side like fringes.

For making petals: Take any floral color crepe paper (I used red and white.) with 12 inches length and cut the one side as like in the picture.

For making calyx: Take a green color crepe paper with app 2 inches length, and cut one side as like the petals.

For making flower: Take a floral wire with a length of 6 inches and and bend it at its center and twist both sides to get a single thick wire.
Then, wind-up the stamen over its one end. After that, wind-up the petals over the stamen, covering it fully, and lastly, wind-up with the green color crepe paper.
Now, start to wrap the lower side of the flower with floral tape (tightly) till the end of the floral wire.
Finally, open-up the calyx and petals.

For making flower vase: Make the flowers as many needed as for a flower vase. Then, arrange the flower with the design of your choice and insert the flowers into a vase or floral arranger.
I have arranged the flowers like an umbrella-shape, and inserted on a floral arranger.

This flower vase is very easy to make, and we can make it so quickly for any party decorations.

Feel free to give your valuable comments and suggestions. Thank you...!!!

Its true, we can make these flowers for decorating party table. 

MATERIALS USED

Waste plastic can

Paint

Glitter

Scissor

Sugar

Glue

wire or cure pipes

First, draw flower shapes on the plastic can and cut them separately. Then put holes at the center of flowers and insert either wire or cure pipes ie., pipe cleaner.
Click here to visit my tutorial video.

Paint the flowers and let them dry for some time.

Now, mix the sugar and glitter together, and keep it in a bowl. Then apply glue over the flower petals and sprinkle sugar glitter mixture as like a thick coat on them without space. We can also dip the flowers into the mixture directly, rather than sprinkling.

Waste water bottle flower vase!

This flower vase is very easy to make, we can reuse the plastic water bottles beautifully. All we need is some bottles, glue gun, and paints. 
For my craft tutorial video, click the URL: http://youtu.be/MCXk-cXHb_w

Materials used:



 
Empty bottles

Scissor

Dry sticks

Glue gun

Paints

Method:

First cut the bottle into two half, as shown in picture. For making flower cut the upper part into 5-6 petals. Bend the petals downwards to get a good shape.


For making center bud, cut another bottle as above and again cut and remove the neck portion of its upperpart. Now we have the upperpart looks like a funnel without neck. Now, cut the funnel in cross section to make it flat and with that, cut again the flat shape into 8-9 petals and fold and roll up to get a bud shape.


Show the petals in candlelight so that the petals can shrink and bend slightly. Then, apply glue on the bottom of the bud and on the inner side of the neck cap, then insert the bud into the flower neck part.


Paint the flower petals with the color of your choice.

After the paints get dried, insert the flower onto the tip of the dry stick, and apply glue to fix the stick and flower properly.



Cut the remaining lower part of the bottle in leaf shapes, then paint in green color and glue with the stem. Do as many as needed, hold them together and insert into the long white color plastic bottle (decorate the vase as you wish) filled with clay or sand.

Flower vase is ready now! Try this at your home and give your feedbacks. Thank you...!!!
