Back in April I blogged about cutting our Chantilly textiles on the Cricut. Here’s that post. It has great tips and a link to a tutorial on how to prepare your fabric for the Cricut mat.
Today, I’ll show you the flowers I promised. Just like the fabric bows, they were cut on the Cricut. The only difference between these flowers and paper ones is getting them glued together. I prefer to use Liquid Glass when assembling paper 3D flowers. These required hot glue. I needed that instant bond because the fabric doesn’t have a memory. If you roll it up and let go, it wants to unroll and does it quickly! Thus the hot glue.
I discovered that imperfect flowers are the best. See the one on the top right? I had to fix the center and it crumpled. It looks the best of all the flowers I made that day.
Hope this inspires you to create today!
These are gorgeous! I agree that some subtle imperfections can result in the most natural-looking blossoms. Thanks for the link to the "toot" too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline! I hope you have a chance to make some too.
