Marshmellow Fluff

My wedding is one giant DIY project which is equal parts theraputic and equal parts anxiety filled.  Sitting in our garage for hours on end is nice listening to music is nice…and then that is usually broken when Jack decided to come use his garage area to take a stinky poop.  Then the garage becomes less crafty and more hot and stinky.

This weekend, I did my best to blaze through a handful of projects for the wedding.  Finished first were my bakery bar dessert signs.  Here is a little how-to if you are interested in crafting up some of your own.

Step one: Cut a long stip of fabric about 1″ wide.  Cut petal shapes down the entire fabric strip without cutting the strip completely.  This will allow you to be able toglue and wrap the fabric strip without the petals falling apart from one another.

Step 2: After you have cut the petals on the continuous fabric strip, hot glue the bottom of the strip and slowly wrap it, stopping occasionally to add more glue and wrap.

Step 3: Once you have wrapped the entire strip, decide if your flower is large enough or if you need to wrap another petal fabric strip to it.

Step 4: Add a fabric circle to the bottom of the flower to add a little support.  If you are using these for a stand you will want to glue a dowel into the center of the flower and a small wood base to add more support.

Easy peasy!!!
