This blog is brought to you by: The CSI Project

 

These flowers can be used to embellish a bracelet, necklace, headband, brooch or a hair clip. You can spray paint them or leave as it is! Simple, easy and a great up cycle project!

 

      

Materials:

  2 soda cans

spray paint for metals (optional)

flower craft punches in different sizes

multipurpose adhesive or hot glue

 small piece of felt , scrapbook brad and jewels to embellish 

     metal cutting snips  and sharp scissors

        hammer, nail and cutting board

 

 Instructions:

Rinse the soda cans. Using the metal cutting snips or sharp scissors, cut away the top and bottom of the can, leaving a flat sheet of aluminum. 

 

 

Once you have your sheet of aluminum, punch the flowers using the craft punches.

 

 

 Using your hammer and nail, make a small hole in the center of each flower.

 

 

 bend up  and down the sides of your petals

 

 

Stack all 4 flowers layers and secure them with a scrapbook brad and glue a jewel of your choice to the center of each flower.

 

  

You can leave the flowers just like that or you can spray paint them.

 

 

If you choose to spray paint them, this is how it will look like.

 

 

To assemble your headband you will need a glue gun or a very strong glue like E-600

I used a glue gun and worked just fine.

 

 

 Glue a small round piece of felt to the inside of your headband where the flower are.

 

 

You can also glue the flower to a hair clip!
