Wired Balloon Flowers
Yesterday’s fabric flowers reminded me of a craft that I saw 10 years ago or more. Flowers made from balloons and floral wire.
Fabric Flower
Great way to use up those fabric scraps!
What you will need:
- Fabric This is a project where you can use up some of those scraps.
- Glue I really like using Tacky Glue. It is much better than regular school glue and it really is… well… tacky. I also use the glue bottle to form the petals.
- Floral wire I use the 18 gauge, white fabric wrapped floral wire. In my area, it seems that Hobby Lobby is the only place that sells this exact kind but Wal-Mart does carry the wire too. Just not the 18 gauge.
- Rounded tool This could be just about anything as long as it’s smaller than your glue bottle. I’m partial to my wooden spoon because the handle gives a great shape. You’ll see why soon.
- Floral tape You can find this at the Dollar store, Wal-Mart or any craft store with a floral department.
- Wire cutters
- Felt balls I like to use 18mm in various yellow shades.

Wedding Gift Ornament
This from ChristyRobbins: Take the couple’s invitation and cut into strips. Wrap around a pencil to coil up. Insert into a clear ornament. Give it as a wedding gift for them to hang on their tree every Christmas–simple, elegant, inexpensive, and will be treasured forever!
Christy advises this would also be cute for baby shower invites, or other special occasions.
