Presentation is everything right? I think so. Anyway now that I mainly used the Project Life system to "scrapbook" http://www.beckyhiggins.com I have a lot of scrapbook paper that I just don't think I'll ever use. I have been using it as wrapping paper which is cool but I wanted to jazz is up a bit.
This is what I came up with for a flower embellishment.
So I took my trusty circle template & cut different size circles out of a few different plastic bags. I didn't have any cool colors so I went with white.
I held the circles over a candle to curl up the sides. I found out you can hold them pretty far away...they melt fast! And the thicker the plastic bag the better the effect. The Target bags didn't turn out great so I didn't end up using them.
My "melted" circles.
I took a bit of embroidery floss in a contrasting color and put it in the middle of my circles once I stacked them all together.
I used a button behind the flower as an anchor to attach the floss and I knew I wanted to hot glue the flower to my present and didn't want it to melt so the button was ideal.
From the front.
And my finished flower embellishment on my scrapbook wrapped present.
