Paint Chip Flower

I wanted to create a cute, easy, and almost free flower for a fun centerpiece project...and this is the little ditty that came out of some fun with paint chips...

Grab a variety of long paint chip strips...

Cut a 'fringe' on one side, leaving about 1-1/2" at the top...

...after cutting the entire strip...begin rolling

If you want the color on the topside...roll with the white on the outside...for the underside to be fresh and colorful, roll the color side in...

the grab those fabulous big glue dots...

affix one at the bottom, then top off with a simple white button (or color of your choice)

Then stick a short length (8-10") of baling wire through a button hole, through the glue dot and slightly into the flower roll to affix...

Start pulling back the 'petals'...

...until you have a fun flower spray...

You can either do several and place in a vase...

Or press the end of the baling wire into a wine cork, and pace inside a small wooden turning...

One centerpiece down...off to Sherwin Williams for more floral supplies...
