Show Me Sunday - A Tutorial by Liva

Sunday, September 23, 2012

I wanted to share a tutorial on how to make pretty flowers using just white masking tape.
 All you need is a punched or cut circle from a cardstock or paper scrap and white masking tape (well you can also use the yellow or other color as well, but I will get to the part why I use white ones).
 Just take the beginning of masking tape and start pleating it slightly overlapping the edge of your circle.
 When you have pleated tape all around, continue pleating it more towards the center of the circle. Do this till you've covered all your circle.
 And here's why IO use white masking tape - because you can apply almost any color medium to it and have flower that matches your project. In this case I used diluted ColorWash to spray my flower.
 Add a beautiful brad or button to the center of your flower. Then ruffle up all those tape layers to give more flower like look and it's ready.
 You can also use inks to add color just to the edges of your "petals".
 As masking tape comes in different widths, experiment with all of them. The ones that are wider will give you more larger and fluffier flowers.
And here's a card that I made using my masking tape flowers. You can use these to also decorate any paper crafting projects as well as some home decor as well.

**REMEMBER - If you make a project using one of our tutorials (past or present) please share it with us on our Facebook Page! We love to see our tutorials being put to use!!

How simple is that?! Our Design Team did an amazing job showing you all the creative ways you can do this! Check it out...









Teresa used a Crafter's Workshop stencil to create the triangles on her canvas.


Brenda

Brenda used triangles and squares cut from patterned paper and cardstock to make this maple leaf quilt block.  It is framed in an 8"x8" frame, with the buttons, twine, rubons and alphabet stickers adhered to the outside of the frame.

One of my favorite sponsors is back Mold Muse they have such an amazing range of molds over there, it's a must to click on the link and take a look at what they have to offer
 Welcome to Mold Muse. We have been working with clay and resin since 1978 and making molds for over 20 years. Our experience brings you excellent quality molds using only high grade silicone rubber, not too soft, not too hard and perfect for highly detailed pieces and a long mold life.

All of our molds are lovingly handmade by hubby and me. We inspect each mold before shipping to limit clean up on your end.

We pour rather than press all of our molds to pick up every detail. Our process also eliminates the air in silicone which produces a far superior finished product.

We offer all our molds in high quality food grade silicone. Just leave us a note at checkout to pour them in food grade and we will make them for you. This normally takes us and extra 24-48 hours to assure the silicone cures properly before shipping.

Not intended for small children. Silicone Molds can be squishy and fun to play with but can also be a choking hazard. Please keep away from small children or supervise them while playing with the molds.
This weeks prize is a gift certificate worth $25.00, you get to go over and pick your own prize, now how good is that ?
