Start by selecting your faux flowers. You can use coordinating colors for a polished look, or mix and match a variety of colors for a playful, whimsical vibe. Look for different sizes and textures to add depth and interest to your design.
Step 2: Remove Blooms from Stems
Using wire cutters, carefully remove a few blooms from the stems of your flowers. Be sure to keep the small green plastic pieces from the base of each bloom, as you’ll need them later to assemble your craft.
Step 3: Separate the Petals
Take the blooms you’ve removed and gently pull the petals apart, separating them from the flower’s center. This will leave you with individual petal layers that can be used to create a stacked floral effect.
Step 4: Arrange the Petals
Decide how you want to arrange the petals for your spring craft. You can layer them in an ombre effect by starting with darker petals at the base and lighter ones on top, or alternate colors for a fun, vibrant look.
Step 5: Glue the Petals Together
Using your hot glue gun, attach the petals to one another, starting with the largest layer on the bottom and working your way up to the smallest layer on top. Press firmly to ensure each layer is securely glued.
Step 6: Add the Base
For the spring lady’s feet or base, attach a green plastic piece (from the stem or leaves) to the bottom of the petal stack using hot glue. This will help the craft stand upright and add a realistic touch to your design.
Step 7: Create the Flower Center
Take one of the small green plastic pieces you saved from the flower’s interior and glue it to the center of your petal stack. This will serve as the "core" of your flower and add dimension to the design.
Step 8: Attach the Doll Face Bead
Using a generous amount of hot glue, attach a wooden doll face bead to the top of the flower. This creates the "head" of your spring lady and brings the craft to life. Adjust the position as needed to make sure it looks balanced and secure.
Step 9: Add Final Details
Optionally, embellish your spring craft with additional petals, leaves, or small floral details. These extra touches will make your garden fairy or spring lady even more unique and beautiful. Let your creativity shine!
