Vintage blomster/Vintage Flowers

Idag har jeg leitet gjennom nettbutikkene etter noen fine flotte vintage blomster.

Jeg fant noen som jeg kunne hatt godtatt, men siden jeg var på jakt etter

en hel spesiell type, så fant jeg ut at jeg likesågodt kunne lage disse blomstrene selv.

Today I have been looking through the online shops for some nice great vintage flowers.

I found someone I could have accepted, but since I was looking for

an entire special type- I might as well be able to make these flowers myself.

**************

Inspirasjonen var disse blomstene som i utgangspunktet er veldig fine-

men altfor store...

The inspiration was these flowers which basically is very nice-

but too big ...

*****************

Så jeg stupte ned i en gammel blomster eske og fant noen gamle forlatte blomster der.

So I dived into an old flower box and found some old abandoned flowers there.

******************

Da setter vi igang...

Here we go:

Resultatet ble veldig fint- men ikke nok vintage for min del.

Så her måtte det spraymaling til.

Jeg sprayet blomstene hvite, men ønsket ikke at de skulle bli helt gjennomfarget, derfor sprayet

jeg blomstene bare en gang.

The result was great, but not enough "vintage style" as I wanted.

So I needed to spray paint these.

I painted the flowers white- I didn´t want them to be totally white, 

so thats why I only sprayed once.

****************

Disse ble fine- en liten perle i midten så er de helt perfekte.

So nice color- just a bling in the middle and they are perfect.

*****************

MEN, jeg ga meg ikke der.....

Du skjønner- jeg ønsket nemlig å ha litt tyll eller blonder i blomstene

så da måtte jeg prøve å lage noen andre sorter.

I was not finish yet..

I needed to try tulle or laces between the flowers.

******************

Her er det du trenger av utstyr til å lage dine egne blomster

Here is what you need of tools to make your own tulle/laces flowers

Og dette gjør du:

Stans ut 2 store, 2 medium og en liten blomst

Klipp ut litt tyll.

Jeg liker alltid å sverte kantene på blomstene med litt blekk- ditt valg.

Og glem ikke en liten splittbinders til å holde blomsten sammen.

And this is how to do a flower:

Punch 2 large, 2 medium and one small flower

Cut some tulle.

I always like to distress the edges of the flowers with some ink-your choice.

And don´t forget a tiny brads to keep the flowers together.

the result:
