Materials Required:
1. Plastic bags (different colors)
2. Craft wire
3. Green paper tape
4. Round glass decorative pieces
5. White pearl sticky sheet
6. Thread
7. Glue gun
Step 1: Gather Materials
Collect plastic bags in various colours, craft wire, green paper tape, round glass decorative pieces, white pearl sticky sheet, thread, and a glue gun.
Step 2: Create Wire Circles
Take the craft wire and fold it into a circle shape. Aim for at least five circles for your flower.
Step 3: Wrap Plastic Petals
Cut small pieces from the plastic bags. Place a piece over each wire circle, wrapping and securing it to form a petal. Repeat this process until you have five petals on each wire circle.
Step 4: Assemble Flower
Bring together all the petals to form a flower. Tie their ends tightly with a thread, ensuring the petals are securely attached. This creates the flower’s bloom.
Step 5: Prepare the Stem
Take a separate piece of craft wire for the stem. Wrap it with green paper tape to mimic the look of a stem. Also, wrap the lower part of the flower to conceal the thread and create a seamless transition.
Step 6: Attach the Flower to the Stem
Securely attach the flower to the stem using the thread. Ensure that the flower is firmly connected to the stem.
Step 7: Add White Pearls
Enhance the beauty of your flower by sticking white pearls on each petal. This adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.
Step 8: Attach Round Glass Decorative
Using the glue gun, affix a round glass decorative piece in the center of the flower. This creates a focal point and adds a delightful sparkle.
Step 9: Repeat and Create Variations
Make as many flowers as you desire, experimenting with different colors of plastic bags to achieve a vibrant and diverse bouquet.
Step 10: Arrange in a Vase
Once your upcycled plastic bag flowers are ready, arrange them inside a glass vase. Admire your eco-friendly and visually stunning creation, adding a touch of charm to any space. You can put cork or fairy lights inside the vase to make it look more aesthetically pleasing.
Now you have a beautiful vase of upcycled plastic bag flowers that not only brighten up your surroundings but also contribute to sustainable crafting. Enjoy your unique and environmentally conscious decor!✨
