I have been enjoying painting watercolor flowers lately, which means that there are successes as well as pieces that might have some successes and some failures on the same page. But actually that is a good thing because then you can cut out those lovely flowers from the rest of the not so great page, hot glue some lovely gold wire to the back and voila, fun flowers to stick into a vase, or use in any number of ways, especially for the Jewish holiday of Shavuos, coming up on Thursday night, for which we try to fill our homes with flowers and greenery! So friends, right about now is a perfect time to spend an hour or two painting a bunch of watercolor flowers to cut out and use for holiday crafting! Plus it is just so enjoyable you won't want to stop, take it from me!
You'll Need:
- watercolor paper
- watercolor paint, especially opera pink in a tube
- thick gold wire
- a hot glue gun
How To:
- Paint a variety of flower shapes and set aside to dry. Then go back and add the black center details with a paint brush or even a paint marker or pen if you like.
- Cut out the flowers that you love, then turn the page over and paint on the other side!
- Hot glue wire stems to the flowers and enjoy, I promise, they look amazing!
