I really love how versatile this Sizzix die is. It comes with four different flowers. I used it to make a candle holder and the pins you see below. This picture kind of gives you the approximate sizes of the flowers from the die.
INSTRUCTIONS:This was made using roof flashing. You can buy a 6" x 50 ft roll of the stuff at any home improvement store. I used my flower folds die and cut out the 3 largest flowers. I then ran those through my embossing folder for some texture. Next I took a Real Red re-inker and some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and rubbed over metal to color it a little. Sealed with a clear acrylic spay so the color wouldn't come off.
These were ALSO made using the flower folds die. This time we only used the 2 smallest flowers to make these pins The top one I made at a class at my friend Anne's. It uses all cotton fabric. The bottom 2 use upholstery fabric and have a little more dimension and body to them. IF you're gonna make these use the upholstery fabric if you have the choice. It works so much better. OH yeah be careful with glue guns. I have a big nasty blister to prove I wasn't careful.
