Directions

Clean the inside and outside of the glass block and let dry completely. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and apply the vinyl wording “Love Blooms here” to one side of the glass block. Set aside.

Creating the Photo flowers:

Trace and cut out flowers from contrasting colored cardstock according to the patterns. You should end up with one large and two smaller flowers shapes for each flower you want to make. Turn the circle scallop punch upside down. Place the photo onto the punch and center the area you want for the flower. Punch out photo.

Wrap a wooden dowel with green floral tape. Take the large flower shape and attach to the dowel with a piece of clear tape. Center and layer a smaller flower shape onto the larger flower. Attach with a Pop Up glue dot. Center and layer the photo circle onto the smaller flower. Attach with a Pop Up glue dot. Center and layer the second small flower shape on the other side of the large flower. Attach with a Pop Up glue dots. Optional: Add a leaf to the stem by placing end of leaf alongside dowel and wrapping with floral tape to secure. Repeat these steps until you make at least 3 – 5 photo flowers.

Creating the Accent flowers:

Use the magic Punch fold-it Punch – Starflower to make these flowers. Punch out two per flower. Fold according to the directions. Attach one flower to the end of a floral wrapped dowel with a piece of clear tape. Attach the second starflower to the opposite side with a Pop Up glue dot. Create as many starflowers as needed. Optional: You can also add a leaf to these flower stems.

Assembling the Arrangement:

Place some green paper shreds inside of the glass block. Carefully arrange the Photo flowers in the block; the shreds should hold them in place. Trim the ends of the dowels if necessary to vary the heights. Add the starflowers for accents the same way.
