Add glitter and dimension to a boring Easter basket with layered, paper flowers coated in extreme glitter. You can also bring color to a solid Easter basket with this technique from Cathie & Steve.


Paper Flowers Easter Basket


Materials:

  • Plaid- 2782 - FolkArt ® Extreme Glitter™ - Hologram, 5 oz.
  • 5 or 6 different prints of scrapbook paper
  • Foam paintbrush
  • Wax paper
  • Large rhinestone (one for each flower)
  • Hot glue
  • Ribbon
  • Easter Basket


Instructions:

  1. Tear the papers into random circle shapes in various sizes. The largest should be around 3 inches and the smallest about 1.5 inches. The idea is to tear an organic shape, don’t worry about creating perfect circles. You will need about 5 or 6 circles per flower.
     
  2. Place the circles print side up on the wax paper. Coat each circle with 2 layers of extreme glitter.
     
  3. Once dry, hot glue the circles in a graduated layer fashion. Hot glue a gem to the center of each flower.
     
  4. Add ribbon embellishment to the Easter basket with hot glue. Hot glue the flowers across the center front of the basket.
