- Hey guys, it's Claire,
[1]
and today we are going to make
a paper flower wall hanging.
[6]
I love this project.
[7]
It's super versatile.
[9]
And I'm gonna show you how to do it.
[11]
For this project, you're
gonna need floral wire,
[14]
white construction paper, water colors,
[16]
paint brushes, a hot glue gun, and hooks.
[21]
The first step is take all
your white construction paper,
[24]
cut it to the size of the flowers.
[26]
I used four inch squares
and six inch squares.
[30]
I cut about 60 because I wanted
a really big flower garland.
[34]
Next you're going to water color.
[36]
Using the paintbrush, I painted circles
[39]
since most of my flowers
have a circular shape to them
[41]
and I really tried to make
the water coloring uneven,
[45]
because I liked the
variety and the colors.
[47]
That way it makes it look
more dimensional and more fun.
[51]
I would suggest bringing a friend over
[52]
'cause it's a lot of paper to water color,
[54]
and crafting is even
more fun with a friend.
[57]
For the six inch squares,
I painted both sides
[60]
because this specific flower,
[62]
you see both sides of the paper.
[64]
For the four inch ones, I
did three different colors
[67]
to make three more flowers.
[69]
Once you've painted
all the pieces of paper
[71]
and set 'em aside, wait for them to dry,
[73]
and now we are going to cut
stems using the floral wire.
[77]
I would say cut each piece to
about seven or eight inches
[80]
just to make sure you have
enough to wrap around each other
[83]
when you actually create the garland.
[85]
Now let's get in to the specific flowers
[87]
starting with the piece of
paper that's six inches.
[89]
Take your stem and create sort of a little
[93]
end of the flower.
[94]
I used a paintbrush and
wrapped the wire around
[97]
to create a mini spiral.
[99]
Set that aside and pick
up the piece of paper.
[103]
Take that and cut a big
spiral all the way around,
[107]
and trim off the squared
edges once you've finished.
[110]
Once your spiral is cut,
get the hot glue gun
[113]
and glue a little drop of the stem
[115]
on to the end of the spiral.
[117]
Once it dries, begin to slowly twist
[120]
from the outside of the spiral all the way
[122]
until the inside.
[124]
Keep twisting until you've gone
[126]
all the way around the spiral.
[128]
Once you have it tightly wound,
[130]
slowly loosen it to
form the flower itself.
[133]
Once you get that the shape that you want,
[136]
add a couple of drops
of glue to the layers
[138]
so that it holds in place.
[142]
Let's do the second flower.
[144]
I call this one the daisy.
[145]
Three pieces will equal one flower.
[148]
Take each piece and fold it angle to angle
[151]
in to three small triangles.
[155]
Once you have that, do
a tiny clip at the end
[158]
so that that's the center of your flower,
[160]
and then, like a snowflake,
cut out the petal.
[163]
After you've done that to
all three pieces of paper,
[166]
unfold it and you can see the flower.
[168]
You're gonna layer these
on top of each other.
[171]
I rotated mine so that each petal
[173]
was rotated a little bit,
[175]
and then you add a drop of
glue to glue them all together.
[178]
Like the first flower,
you take a piece of wire,
[180]
create a little spiral at the end,
[183]
and then slide it through
the center hole of the flower
[186]
and add a drop of glue
to hold it in place.
[189]
(bouncy strumming)
[191]
Flower number three is a
lot like flower number two.
[194]
You just use four pieces of paper,
[196]
and you do sort of a wider
cut to create a bigger petal.
[199]
Fold it, cut the center.
[201]
Cut 'round the top.
[203]
And then unfold them all.
[206]
For this one, I wanted to
vary the thickness of each.
[209]
The first piece of paper, I
didn't cut any petals out.
[211]
As you can see, it's
all a completed circle.
[215]
The second one, I cut one petal out.
[217]
Third one, I cut two petals out,
[219]
and on the last one,
I cut four petals out.
[222]
After that, add some glue to hold them.
[225]
Wrap them together.
[228]
And layer them on top
of each other to create
[231]
this dimensional flower.
[233]
Like the other two flowers, take a wire,
[236]
wrap it around, stick
it through the center,
[239]
and add a drop of glue.
[241]
Last but not least is
the one I like to call
[243]
the Cherry Blossom.
[244]
For this one, you're gonna
need a few more pieces of wire
[247]
that you cut to about two to three inches
[250]
to create sort of a
multiple blossom piece.
[254]
Take an eight inch piece and
a two to three inch piece
[257]
and wrap 'em around each other
[258]
so you almost have a trident shape
[261]
or like a pitchfork.
[262]
Next, you take one sheet of paper and cut
[265]
three small circles out of it.
[267]
In each of those circles, you do one slice
[270]
with the scissors in to the center.
[273]
Then, all you do is create a cone
[275]
by adding some glue, wrapping it together,
[279]
and then sliding it on to each stem.
[284]
And finally, it's time to
actually make the garland
[287]
and put all four flowers wrapped together.
[291]
I decided to do five separate strings,
[293]
so I wrapped 'em all
together and twisted them.
[296]
You don't have to space them evenly.
[298]
Some of them can poke out more.
[300]
I think the more dimensional, the better.
[302]
It adds a lot of vibrance to the piece.
[305]
(lively, bouncy music)
[308]
For mine, I put five hooks above my bed,
[310]
and created five different
vertical hangings.
[314]
For all of you out there
decorating your first home
[316]
or your dorm room, this
is an inexpensive way
[319]
to add a headboard, a piece of art,
[323]
and the best part is,
there are no nail holes.
[326]
Thanks so much for watching, guys.
