Craft Club Competition

 Spring Bouquet

I seem to be back into my paper crafting at the moment although there are still bags being made in between craft groups.

Before Easter the craft group set members a challenge. To decorate a wooden plaque of a bouquet of flowers. We could use any medium. I was going to add felt flowers to make the flowers on the plaque 3 dimensional. However the flowers looked a little clumpy so I changed to organza ribbon flowers . 

I used a running stitch technique to make the petals and added a small pearl button to the centre, then hot glued them onto the board. 

My finished bouquet:

Other members used paints, there was one where the petals were coloured with different seeds which I thought was particularly clever.

It was a lovely project to celebrate the coming of spring.

I am enjoying the mixture of paper crafts at club and sewing at home.

Next week at Craft club we are making gift bags with some large sheets of card that has been given to us. I have the task of working out the dimensions and scoring needed to utilise the card in the most efficient way.. Back soon with the results.
