Duct Tape Flower #2

    This is a flower I made out of duct tape! You'll need duct tape (any kind, any color), a button, hot glue, cardboard, and scissors. First, you cut a pedal stencil out of cardboard, then cut a circle (I made mine with about a 2'' diameter) out of the cardboard. Next, cut out two long pieces of duct tape that are the same size, and carefully lay the sticky sides together as even as you can, that way you can cut it. Next, cut out as many pedals you want out of the duct tape using the stencil. Hot glue the pedals to the cardboard circle, trying to get the pedals to be as close to the center as possible. You might have to overlap some of the pedals, which is good since I have yet to see a real flower that doesn't have overlapping pedals..... Finally, hot glue the button to the center to cover up any messy centers you have. There you go! Now you have a beautiful duct tape flower that you can make into a headband, a pin, or anything really! Thanks!

Button Bracelet

     This is a bracelet I made out of buttons! Well.....obviously......All you do is get the typical necklace clasps, however many strings you want, and a lot of buttons. You string them on, either putting one string through one button, or multiple strings through one button. Continue doing this until it is long enough to fit around your wrist, then attach the clasps to the ends of the strings. And Vwa La! You have a button bracelet! Thanks!
