As many of you know from my mini's and video's, I'm loving punched flowers these days! I was playing around the flowers and UTEE in my melting pot and "glass" flowers were born.
To make these you will need punched flowers in a couple of sizes and/or shapes, UTEE and a Melting Pot by Ranger, a non-stick matt, Glossy accents by Ranger and/or a heat gun, tweezers and some embossing ink.
Use embossing ink to coat the tips of your tweezers to reduce how much UTEE sticks to them.
Punch your flowers in the card stock or patterned paper of you choice
Shape the flowers by folding or curling petals
Dip each flower section separately in the melted UTEE. Be careful it's HOT!!
After the flower sections cool. Trim any excess UTEE. You can heat the flowers with your heat gun to "remove" and blemishes.
Layer flowers and glue with Glossy Accents.
Alternately, you can layer and heat with the heat tool to meld the sections together.
Add bling and stickles to flower centers
Here I made a rose using the Tim Holtz method. I dipped each section before assembling the layers.
These flowers can be used on scrapbook layouts, Mini books, Photo Frames, Easter Baskets or other altered items.
Have fun playing with these and have an awesome week!

These flowers are just beautiful!! Thanks so much for the tutorial. Shari (cricutrookie)
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat way to do them. I wonder if a mini crockpot or a cup warmer would work for melting the UTEE? They turned out really nice!
ReplyDeleteI recommend melting the UTEE only with the melting pot as it is designed specifically for that purpose. I haven't tried it with other "pots" like a crock pot... it probably doesn't get hot enough. Other kinds of melting methods, such as a pan on a stove, may be a fire hazard, so please be careful!!
ReplyDeleteBloody Beautiful, WOW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are really nice Laura,
Thank you

ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous!! You are amazing!!
ReplyDeletegreat looking flowers. No Utee or melting pot, so I'll have to try to figure out multiple layers of regular embossing powder instead.
ReplyDeleteafter watching your video i ran out and used my 50% off coupon and got a melting pot - i have to try this method - have to!!! If it works out you will see them on You Tube.

ReplyDeleteI make flowers when I´m feeling stressed out, or just low on creativity, it always makes me happy! Now I just have tos tart using them in projects, as I have a huge box of flowers that never get used...
Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog via You Tube, where I saw your video for these gorgeous flowers. I haven't got a melt pot (yet), but I will be getting out my UTEE and heat gun to see what I can come up with.
Thank you for the inspiration.
