Posie photo holder
1
Die-cut one small Shabby
Posie, one medium Pom-
Pom Posie and two leaves
from felt. To create a stem,
place a line of liquid glue
from stem to tip on both
leaves. Lay a piece of floral
wire in the glue and leave to
dry. Layer the two felt posies
together, and punch a hole in
the centre.
2
Gather a bunch of
flower stamens and
twist together. Place the
combined wires through
the hole in the centre of the
flowers. Push the posies to
the top so they sit against
the bottom of the stamens.
Wrap the stem of the posie,
and attach the leaves, with
floral tape.
3
To create the photo clip,
cut a 25cm length of
floral wire. Wrap around a
small dowel four times. Use
pliers to hold the ends of
the wire together, and begin
twisting. Continue until
the stem portion is tightly
wound. Slide the photo clip
off of the dowel. Fill the
centre of a wooden spool
with hot glue. While the
glue is hot, insert the flower
bundle and photo clip into
the centre, then set aside
to cool.

spellbinderspaperarts.comIf using craft felt, test
your adhesive on a
scrap before attaching
the leaves, as some
glues are not very
effective on this type
of surface
