Oh Christmas Tree...

Hello friends

Delighted you liked yesterday's mini tree featuring 

Bitty Blossoms.

I thought it might be nice to share with you a larger version

featuring Spiral Blossoms.

I made this a while ago, Anne remembers this as she attended the class :)

This one needs a full sheet of 12 x 12 to cover the cone

and takes approximately 70 flowers...

I think I probably watched a few films whilst rolling them!

I inserted a garden cane to affix my label message at the top and ribbon.

Some tips for both Spiral Blossoms and Bitty Blossoms that work for me:

Use good quality paper or thinner card, if you use thicker card spritz
lightly with water.

To begin rolling, I use the pokey tool end of my Tool n One -
wrap the first curls around that to create a nice circular roll
and I then continue with my fingers.
Rolling firmly but not too tight.
Once rolled I let go and let it find its own shape.

I then apply a liberal dob of glue onto the base and affix.

Put to one side to dry fully and then tweak (quite a lot!) afterwards.

My favourite size of Bitty Bossoms is the medium one and my favourite

Spiral Blossom is Spiral Blossoms Three - love those pointed petals. 

Of course these need not just be for Christmas, all done in ivory or white

for a wedding would be lovely.

Take care friends,  I'm back tomorrow.
