DIY! Glittering Fall Flowers

 Yep, you got it, I did it again.

I broke into the biscuits!

I have warned you in the past that I am obsessed with biscuits...

I have a few more tricks up my sleeve,

but for now I want to show off the pretty,

glittering gorgeousness of my Fall flowers,

and you can bet your sweet patootie there will be some
 lovely poinsettias coming your way soon- can't you just see it!

Glittering Flowers

Supplies

* P.K. Glitz Glitter in desired colors

* Gorilla Wood Glue

* Plate Joining Biscuits

* 1” wood discs (or old buttons) 

* Paint brush

* Paint (Optional – this can be done w/o paint or you can paint each biscuit for a base – spray paint works quickly and well)

* “Centers” for flowers – beads, buttons {shank works extremely well}, gems – your choice.

* (Optional) felt and floral wire

DIY It!

1. Each flower takes 5 petals (biscuits) and one disc

2. Paint Gorilla Wood Glue all over the top and sides of each biscuit. {OPTIONAL: at this point you may chose to paint the entire biscuit - and wood disc a similar color to the glitter color}.

3. Douse each petal in the desired color of P.K. Glitz glitter. Use a coffee filter to catch the excess glitter - so easy to slide the excess back into the jar!

4. Set aside and let dry.

5. When dry, take one 1” disc and paint glue all over the top.

6. Lay your petals out on top of the disc – only the tips will be on the disc and glued to it. Once these set, I like to drop a drop of glue into the center – it spread and solidifies the hold. Let dry.

7. Attach center – gems, pearl, crystals, buttons – it all depends on the look you want. Shank buttons work really well, as the shank sets in the glue.
ALTERNATIVE: I have not tried this yet, but depending on your desired application, you can also apply the petals directly to some felt - that is or can be cut around the shapes.

8. Once completely dry – NOTE: THESE FLOWERS ARE STILL FRAGILE EVEN WHEN DRY – you can cut some floral wire and attach it to the back using the glue – cut a small piece of felt to sandwich the wire. (You may need to touch up in some areas)

Use the flowers to decorate wreaths, baskets, branches. They are gorgeous glittering goodness - perfect for Fall!

Don't you just L-O-V-E the SCREEN WREATH?
 It is still one of my favorites!

I do think it would also look fabulous on this wreath

I did in March for the Dollar Store Challenge.
