Beauty Can O Blooms

Here's a little project I did several months back that I can finally share here.

Supply List

(Please feel free to substitute any of your favourite supplies)

Empty potato chip/crisp mini-can with plastic cover (e.g. Pringles)

Papers and Embellishments from the La Di Dah Courtyard Collection by KI memories

Burgundy

and Aqua Loft Flowers by Prima

French Can-nection

Paris

Flower by Prima

White Velvet Daisy Ribbon By Prima

Say it With Crystals by Prima

Bird PopUp by Prima

Cargo ribbon by Heidi Swapp

KI Gloo

4 Wooden Skewers

2 different thicknesses of 3D pop dots or foam tape adhesive

Acrylic Paint

Step 1

Paint three skewers with brown paint leaving the pointed tips unpainted. Set aside to dry

Step 2

Place the plastic cover onto the green side of the flower patterned paper sheet and trace around. Cut out circle shape and use KI Gloo to stick to inside of cover, with flower side facing out

Step 3

Measure the height and circumference of the can. In my case it measures 7.8cm high and 24cm around. Cut a piece of patterned paper to these dimensions and use to cover up the can.

Then cut another piece of patterned paper 5cm x 24 cm and stick on top.

Make sure the joining seams are aligned, as this will be the back of the complete project. Turn the piece of patterned paper left over from the previous strip and stick to front of can.

Cut a piece of velvet daisy ribbon and add.

Add a large and small label shape from the sticker sheet. Add the “beauty” sticker.

Cut the burgundy Loft flower in two, and stick the Can-nection flower to one half. Use KI Gloo to stick to can as shown. Once dry add the Prima Pop Ups bird

Step 4 Cut flower shapes from patterned paper.

Form 3D flowers as follows:

Use the thicker foam adhesive to stick Felt flower to paper flower, then thinner foam adhesive to add smaller paper flower. Top with “wish” and “dream” epoxy stickers

Use a skewer to curl the edges of large flower backwards

Then crease each petal in the middle with your fingers. Repeat with second paper flower

To form third flower follow the same layering steps on aqua Loft flower, layering felt embellishments and finishing off with the Say it With Crystals Flower Center

Step 5

Cover the can and use a skewer to punch three holes in cover. Add felt circle. Stick painted skewers in, and used foam adhesive to stick flowers to top of skewers. You may want to shorten one of the skewers as shown.
