Tutorial: The Silk Flower March 17, 2011

You will need:

Silk flower

Lined double prong alligator clip

Hot Glue

Rhinestone Embellishment (optional)

 

Step 1

Cut the stem off the flower. Discard the plastic green “crown” so that all your have are the leaves.

Cut stem off the flower

Step 2

Separate each layer. We are going to glue these on the alligator clip, one layer at a time. We’ll start with the bottom layer and work our way to the top (smallest) layer.

Separate each layer

Step 3

Put hot glue on the alligator clip and on the largest layer of the silk flower.

Hot glue

Step 4

Press the flower on the alligator clip and hold to the count of 10.

Press flower on alligator clip

Step 5

Repeat with all the additional layers.

Repeat

Step 6

Once all the flower layers are glued on the clip in a stack, take your embellishment and glue it in the middle of the flower. If you don’t have an embellishment, you can use the ‘center’ of the flower and that’ll give you a more ‘natural’ look.

Embellish the center

Enjoy! And be creative:)

Ribbon Flag Cupcake Toppers March 5, 2011

I decided to do something fun… something a little different… and hopefully something other people will like as much as I do. Miniature Ribbon Flag Cupcake Toppers! How cute: 

I just love these!!! I think the red and black flags would be perfect for pirate theme or ladybird theme parties. What do you think?

Here is another color combination that I simple adore- pink, yellow and purple.

And of course these are available on my Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/APartyStudio?section_id=7888591
