I made this wall hanging out of floral wire, pastel paper pony beads and colorful pipe cleaners.
1. Bend the floral wire (20 gauge or more) to perfect circle and twist the ends.
2. Take different pipe cleaner and with each one, wrap around the wire form until it's completely covered.
3. Take your finished paper flowers (instructions below) and twist the stems at intervals to make it looks nice but not too crowded. You will have to twist the stems a little bit to get the 3 D. They will actually look like they are blooming from the wire.
PAPER FLOWERS:
1. Take any flower printable (daisy, etc) and print it out on pastel paper. Make several copies on different colors of pastel paper and cut them.
2. Take 3 of the flowers and put them on of top of each other (different colors). Punch holed in the center through all three. Put a pipe cleaner (any color) through the hole and bend the pipe cleaner.
3. Put a alternating pony bead on the pipe cleaner at the halfway and then bend the pipe cleaner through the hole and twist it under all petals.
4. You will be able to make 2 leaves when you bend the pipe cleaner if you bend it right and have enought room to twist it around the circular form. It will make a lot more sense when you have the materials in front of you. The best part was no glue was needed for this project.
