Tissue Paper Daisy

 I think this flower would be super sweet with a small office tag attached with a little To: Mom with love and placed on top of an altered box, in a tiny milk glass vase or just placed on her bedside table as a morning surprise. Again, Enjoy!

Supplies Needed:
Sizzix Die Flower, Daisy #4
Tissue Paper
Vintage Button
24 Gauge Wire or Florist Wire
Florist Tape
Book PageGerman Glass Glitter
White Seam Binding
Tools Needed:
Wire Cutters
Scissors
Liquid Adhesive
Instructions:

• Using your Flower, Daisy #4 die, cut your flowers out of tissue paper. To add a little texture to your petals crumple them in your hand a few times, then straighten them out just a bit. Several flower layers can be cut at the same time. This one stack was cut together.

• Using wire cutters cut your 24 gauge wire or florist wire to the desired stem length. Thread one end of the wire through the button, now twist the wire to secure the button.

• Thread the wire though the hole in the center of the tissue paper flowers.

• Using scissors cut a portion of the florist tape and begin wrapping the tape at the base of your flower. Continue to wrap the florist tape all the way to the end of the stem.

• Using scissors cut two leaves freehand out of an old Book Page, using wire cutters cut the leaf stem to the desired length. Wrap the stem using florist tape then attach to the flower stem using florist tape by wrapping the tape around the stem of the leaf and the flower stem. You want to wrap the stem so that looks like it is one continuous flower stem.

• Apply a clear drying liquid glue all around the edges of your leaf, while the glue is still wet apply Silver German Glass Glitter, tap off the excess and let dry

• To complete your flower tie a white seam binding bow around the stem.
