Patina Petals

Patina PetalsI just love the copper patinaed look I achieved using the new Patina Collection Color Mist! Its a bit difficult to tell from the pictures but in person they have such a nice metallic glimmer to them.  Adding the copper washers and wire really adds to the real metal look I think.
Supplies Used:
Color Mists The Patina CollectionPaper FlowersCopper WashersCopper WireAdhesiveBeadsWire cuttersRound Nose PliersHeat Gun

First step is to mist your 

paper flowers

Don't be afraid to layer your colors

and spray heavily. Between each layer

use the heat gun to dry your flowers.

To really get a nice build up of

color I do this 4-5 times until

I get the desired look I want.

Once your flowers are completely

dry stack and glue them together

with your adhesive.

Cut about a 2.5" inch piece of

copper wire and bend it in half 

making a loop at the bent end.

Stack your copper washers and 

adhere them together.

Feed your wire threads through the

center of your flowers and the washers.

Thread the wire ends through a bead

and spiral each end using the pliers.

These would make great embellishments for your art, scrapbook pages, packages and more!
