Great flowers!

Hi Lorinda! Really nice tutorial!!! I love your flowers.

My question is though, why do you use glossy accents for GLUE? why not use tacky glue or tombow aqua glue or something like that?

I always thought of glossy accents more as a embellishment highligher, you know putting it on things to make them stand out more (like a small heart on a page or something).

Does the glossy accents work BETTER than other glue for this type of flower because of the mod podge? thanks!! and great tutorial!~Melisa

@friskerbizkit

Hi Melisa, Any kind of glue (even hot glue) should work to assemble the flower layers regardless of the modpodge. But, I prefer to use the glossy accents to attach the bling to the center of the flower because it has a stronger hold. I hope this helps!

Thanks so much for watching and for your sweet comments... I really do appreciate it!

[sulivel]

what exactly is mod podge(what does it do to the paper)? can it be used on fabric?

[AtwaterMoon]

@sulivel Mod Podge is a waterbased sealer, glue & finish. In my paper flower tutorial I used modpodge to stiffen up the paper so it keeps its shape better... and, yes it can be used on fabric. I have a tutorial on how I stiffen up some burlap to make into flowers - just search for "Burlap Flower Tutorial".

Thanks for watching!

[fairdragonarte]

Ooh pretty. What I love best though is how well you explained every step and how you had every step done ahead of time which allowed you to show the whole process without rushing through so I actually understood everything. That's a pet peeve of mine with some videos. Lol. So you get 5 stars from me. Thanks so much for sharing.

[AtwaterMoon]

thank you fairdragonarte for your kind words... the time and effort that went into preparing for this tutorial has been well worth it. I'm happy to be able to share this with you ~ thanks too for the 5 stars!

Beautiful flowers! Thanks for the info on the Modge Podge.

[creatingwithaloha]

how cool need to try this.....TFS :)Liann

[sillyshysushi]

Yay! We finally get to see how you make them! I have another question. Did you make the sequience flowers or did you buy them? and the ribbon that I have on my cover, where did you get that? and last question. Where did you get the flocked paper? I loved loved loved you kit! Thanks!

[AtwaterMoon]

hi sushi!

you're up late... just like me!!! that's why we like owls... we're nocturnal like them!!! LOL. the sequin flowers were sent to me by my sister-in-law from the Philippines; the sequined ribbon I bought at a swap meet about 5 years ago and the flocked paper I bought from Costco maybe 2 years ago. I'm sure you can duplicate the sequin flowers... it just might take a bit of patience because they're very tiny. You're doing a great job on your mini album... keep it up!

-lorinda ;-)

[sillyshysushi]

I'm probably going to be up till 3am! =D seriously! I can't sleep! yes, that is why we are like owls! whoo whoo! =:}
