How Do You Make A Mothers Day Silk Flower Bouquet?
There isn’t a single day of the year that Mom isn’t special, so this Mother’s Day, give Mom a gift of flowers that will last the whole year. Making silk flowers is simple and fun for all ages, and can be custom designed to your Mom’s favorite colors or to match her home decor. Carefully pluck the petals from a real rose. There should be between 16 and 20 petals in all, plus leaves. Place the petals on a piece of thin cardboard and trace around them. Draw a small stub at the bottom of each cardboard petal, which you will use to attach your silk flowers to the stem. Place a sheet of interfacing between two pieces of silk and iron the pieces together. The interfacing will keep your silk stiff like real petals and will ensure that the silk flowers do not shed. Use your cardboard petals as templates to cut out your silk petals and leaves. Remember to leave the small stub at the bottom for easy attachment. You should have a number of petals in various sizes. Secure the petals to the florists
