* Tip ; You can run 2 layers of the foam at once through your
die cut machine but if you do any more than that the detail of
the die gets a little squashed and it’s not an nice clear cut.
2 With a Baby Wipe add the Island ink to one side of the die cut
flowers, just lightly brush it on.
3 To create a defined center to the flowers use an Ear Bud
(Q-Tip) and gently brush the Avocado Ink to the centers of the
flowers also do the same with the stamen center.
4 With either an iron or melting pot heat a flower for a couple of
seconds and scrunch it into a very tight ball, repeat with all the
layers and set aside.
5
With the Stamen center roll it into a tight ball.
* Tip: If you have trouble rolling the center use a tooth pick.

On a Kitchen Sponge (the large thick foam ones) place a drop
of hot glue in the center of your first flower, and attach the
second layout in the opposite direction.
* Tip: Push the layers together with a tooth pick or ball tool and
push down on the sponge it will shape your flower.
8 Repeat this with all your layers, remembering to push your
flower into the sponge.
9 Attach the curled Stamen into the center of your flower.
10 Once the glue has cooled you can give the flower a little
scrunch and shape the petals in between your fingers.
* Tip; For the other flowers to shape them you heat them and
use metal ball tools on the back of a mouse mat or dense thick
foam to stretch from the center to the petals and this will curl
the flower naturally.
*Tip; Don’t forget to mix and match your flower dies to create
your own unique flowers and you can add rhinestones, glitter,
pearls to create a stunning center in your foam flowers.
