It comes in other colours than the ones I have shown you but you can colour it yourself.
I have coloured the petals and the leaves with Distress Oxides and a small brush and because they where stiff they where easier to bend into shape.
I did more in the video with dies and if you don't have dies then I show you how to make a little template that you can use to add to the Hessian and cut around.
But if you do have dies then just use any that you already have and the same for the leaves. .
Making Flowers with Hessian Sheets
Maybe you have tried this material before and not quite taken to it but it is easier to work with once it is stiffened up with the glue, and mine is just a cheap 5 litre bottle from the Range that will last me for years, and years ... and years !! ....
If you do try any of these ideas be sure to let me know as I would love to know how you got one with it.
Bye for now ...
