Winter Wedding Flowers – Part One

With CHA in full swing, you might enjoy a peek at some of the display pieces in our booth. Today and tomorrow Designer Alice Golden will be sharing tutorials for two types of handmade flowers that she used to create this wedding cake topper.

To create the coffee filter roses, start with an inexpensive coffee filter

and crumple it into a ball.

Flatten it out,

and fold it almost in half… you want the back half to extend slightly beyond the front half.

Next, start rolling into a flower shape. Note that I am holding this in my left hand for photography purposes, but I found it was much easier to roll it starting near the top edge of the filter. Concentrate on making the edges of the petals at the top look right and the rest of the flower will take care of itself.

Add a Zot to the edge of the filter to hold the flower in place.

One down…

Just a few more to make for the cake topper…

Once you start adding color, they really come alive. I sprayed this bunch with Pink Glitter Dust.

The edges of these roses were lightly brushed with silver metallic paint.

Join us tomorrow to learn how to make another type of flower using pages from an old book.
