Bugz & Flowerz CraZy4Crafts Tutorial Part 2

Here is Part 2 as promised!  This pictorial tutorial will show you just how to make these flowers that our little ladybug tackz are sitting on.  The flowers take it up a notch if you really want a pretty adornment for a finished craft item or to use on the bulletin board or in the wall.  CraZy TACKz will work with soft wood like pine, but a harder wood can break the  tackz, so don't try to force it.

Supplies

The Distress Ink and sponge are for shading the flower petals.  This technique will add dimension.

 Curl the flower petals by wrapping around a pencil.  I hold the pencil with one hand and the flower with the opposite hand then pull the pencil over the petal to help it to curl.

Stack the petals; adhere, matching up the 1/16" holes.

Poke the tackz through the hole in the flower.  Adhere the stopper (ladybug) to the flower.

Below is another picture of the ladybugs from the previous blog.  You can play with different colors.  There isn't a red ladybug in the bunch.  I have made red ones and they are really cute.  They look like the real thing, and I'm not talkin' Coca-Cola.  (Remember that slogan?)

Aren't these pretty?  I love them!
