On the Cricut Explore™ machine online Design Space™, there
are plenty of flower images to choose from and you can not only make flowers
from paper but from different materials such as card, felt, fabric and even
leather!
What You Will Need
Cricut Explore™ machine and
Design Space™ software
Cricut 12” x 12” standard grip cutting
mat and tool set
First Edition Kaleidoscope 12” x
12” Paper Pad
Adhesive
Wire coronet with leaves
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Quilling Tool/Pencil
How to Make
1.
Sign into your Design Space™ account, switch on
the Cricut Explore™ and ensure it is connected either by Bluetooth or USB cable
to your pc/Mac. Create a new project. Using ‘insert image’, search for and
select the flower images.
2.
Pick and resize the images to what you desire.
3.
With your chosen First Edition Kaleidoscope
paper, cut the images.
TIP: Use the scraper tool to apply
the paper to the mat. Using the spatula to remove the cut outs from the mat,
this will prevent tearing or curling the image
4.
Shape the flowers fairly tightly using a
quilling tool or a pencil and glue the layers together to create the flowers.
Once dry, attach the flowers to the wire coronet using a hot glue gun.
