We decorated our photoframe with handmade paper rosebuds and punchcraft roses

The golden dots on the house ,fence and lacey hearts are bindis [fashion accessories!].Wrapped half a punched flower on flower pollens to make the tiny flower buds.

To jazz it up a bit in the festive spirit added glitter glue on the leaves and vines of the punchcraft roses.

Making the
mulberry type punchcraft roses used in
these projects are a bit tricky and I didnt want to flood this blog post with the pictorial photos so made a
slideshow tutorial .Please click on the
little triangles to advance to the next slide of the
punch craft rose and rosebud tutorials.
Tips to make a good rose and rosebud[This applies to the flowers in this tutorial only]Paper: Paper chosen is of the utmost importance here.I found thin punch craft paper gave better results than cardstock as you need a bit of malleability.Some punchcraft paper does not stick easily...such papers will be a nightmare to work with ..experiment.
Glue: I used Fevicol MR. Dont use runny glue...it should be a bit thick...if your glue is fresh and runny...put a big blob on a plastic/other surface and let it thicken for some time before you use it.Glue gun will scorch your hands[I tried ..so beware of shortcuts in this particualr punchraft rose!].Your glue should not be very fast drying as you need a bit of time to mould and arrange the petals.Use the bare minimum of glue or your bud will be a squishy ball!Here is the closeup of the matching star shaped box |
