Firework Flowers

Yea, I can’t believe it!  My first official group project for Trendy Twine.  It is such an honor to be a part of a fabulous team and can’t wait to start making all kinds of projects with this amazing twine.  So let’s get on to my project.  For the month of July, we are going to showcase Berry.  It is one of my favorites over at Trendy Twine, mainly because red is my favorite color.  heheh  Also, since it’s the Fourth tomorrow, I thought I would do something that would look like fireworks.

I saw somewhere on the ‘net where they had taken some dried Allium flowers and sprayed them red, white and blue.  They added a few ribbons, placed them in a jar and had an adorable centerpiece.  Well, what’s better than ribbon?  Trendy Twine!!  LOL  I couldn’t find any dried so I made my own.  I designed a starburst file in Make the Cut and cut out 115 in color.  I folded the flower part in half then half again and glued them to a 1″ foam ball (with the twine covered dowel already inserted).  I have the flower file available for download below.

The curlies are really simple to do.  I wrapped twine around a dowel and sponged on some Stiffy.  Let dry for a few hours then slide off.  I just love how they add to the project.  So cute!  You can’t see it in the picture but I also used stickers and the glass frosting spray to make the bottle say “Happy 4th of July”.  With that being said, I hope everyone has a safe and happy Fourth of July!  See you on the flip side!

Oh, before I forget, don’t you forget to enter this month’s challenge over at Trendy Twine!  Create a project using red, white and blue with coordinating Trendy Twine!  See Trendy Twine’s blog for more details on entering and prize information.  The deadline is July 28th.
