DIY Potted Flower

 

These DIY Potted Flowers are adorable in my opinion, and are the perfect way to brighten up a small space. They a super simple to make, and only requiere a few supplies! They are adorable tiny little plants that can go anywhere. Let’s get going!

Supplies:

T.P. Roll

A pencil

Construction paper

Scissors

A glue stick

Directions:

1. Using your paper and scissors, cut a strip of paper from the side

2. Now cut into the paper at the top, but leave the bottom uncut, so just cut a little less than halfway through

3. Now wrap it around a pencil, once you have wrapped it around once, glue the paper that will touch what you are wrapping around, so that it stays together

4. Apply glue as you go to keep it from falling apart

5. Once you get to the end, apply one last amount of glue, and finish wrapping around the pencil and press on the flower to make sure the glue stays in place

6. Using your T.P. Roll, cut of a little from the bottom

7. Now make a cut in its side

8. Take the flower off of the pencil and glue the end of the T.P. Roll strip and wrap it around the flower

9. Cover the rest of the T.P. Roll strip with glue as well, or it will come undone

10. When you get to the end of the strip glue it as well so it stays in place, press it down with your fingers for a few seconds.

11. Now poke the pencil back through the flower so it gets that circle shape, instead of flat. And fluff out the flower by pushing the little paper strips outward

12. And you’re done!

DIY Easy No-sew Bows

 

If you have ever wanted to make a bow, but you didn’t know how to sew, don’t have a sewing machine, or don’t like hand sewing, then this is a project for you! These bows are easy to make, and adorable! And you need very little materials to make them! Let’s get to it then!

Supplies:

Hair clip

Fabric (that matches your hair clip!)

Scissors

Ruler

Directions:

1. Cut a piece of fabric that is about 11 inches long (at least) and however wide you want

2. Now fold in one side about halfway over the fabric

3. Now fold the other side over that fold you just made

4. Now, using the same color fabric (or if you really want it can be multicolor) cut a piece of fabric that is about 9 inches long, and about 1 inch wide

5. With this strip, place it under the folded piece, make sure the folded side of the bigger fabric shows on top!

6. Now tie a knot with it, on the folded fabric (make sure that you are tying a knot on the side that shows the folds!)

7. Now it is up to you if you want to keep the strands from the knot, and pull them downward and leave them like that

Or cut the strands, which is what I did. It all depends on what type of bow you want

8. Now take your hair clip and open it, place it through the knot in your bow

9. And now you’re done!
