1 00:00:01,457 --> 00:00:03,441 - All our cut flower components now 2 00:00:03,441 --> 00:00:04,838 are just going to be layered together 3 00:00:04,838 --> 00:00:06,432 to create the final flower 4 00:00:06,432 --> 00:00:08,652 that we're going to put onto our string lights. 5 00:00:08,652 --> 00:00:10,406 We're going to be using a leather punch 6 00:00:10,406 --> 00:00:11,909 to punch a hole in the center 7 00:00:11,909 --> 00:00:14,355 of each one of our flower sections, 8 00:00:14,355 --> 00:00:16,369 and I'm using a leather punch 9 00:00:16,369 --> 00:00:18,616 because it helps get through the thicker fabrics 10 00:00:18,616 --> 00:00:21,283 like the felt and the Craft-Tex. 11 00:00:21,498 --> 00:00:24,254 So take each one, and just position it 12 00:00:24,254 --> 00:00:28,337 so that the punch is in the center of your piece, 13 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,443 and just simply give it a punch, and there we go. 14 00:00:32,796 --> 00:00:36,296 We want to do that with all of our pieces. 15 00:00:41,179 --> 00:00:43,268 Sometimes, you might have to do it 16 00:00:43,268 --> 00:00:46,018 a couple of times to get through. 17 00:00:47,116 --> 00:00:50,616 I'm just going to pull that out like that. 18 00:00:52,675 --> 00:00:54,992 You might have to bend your flower a little bit 19 00:00:54,992 --> 00:00:57,492 to get it in there, like that. 20 00:00:59,641 --> 00:01:02,271 All we need to do now is take our leaves 21 00:01:02,271 --> 00:01:06,438 and attach them with hot glue to the bottom of the flower. 22 00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:07,855 I'm going to take my garnet 23 00:01:07,855 --> 00:01:09,910 and I'm going to attach this leaf 24 00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:12,397 to the large bottom paper flower. 25 00:01:12,397 --> 00:01:14,147 So I'll just put a little bit of hot glue there, 26 00:01:14,147 --> 00:01:16,147 you don't need too much, 27 00:01:16,378 --> 00:01:18,548 and then I'm just going to put it on like that. 28 00:01:18,548 --> 00:01:20,220 I like to have two leaves per flower, 29 00:01:20,220 --> 00:01:21,504 I think it looks really pretty, 30 00:01:21,504 --> 00:01:24,504 so I'm going to attach the next one. 31 00:01:25,692 --> 00:01:29,389 I'm just gong to stick that on there like that. 32 00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:31,323 Now it's time to layer them together, 33 00:01:31,323 --> 00:01:32,976 and we're going to use a little bit of hot glue 34 00:01:32,976 --> 00:01:34,670 to hold them in place. 35 00:01:34,670 --> 00:01:37,241 So I have my felt, I'm just going to put 36 00:01:37,241 --> 00:01:40,491 a little bit of hot glue on both sides. 37 00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:43,481 Make sure not to get it on the circle, 38 00:01:43,481 --> 00:01:45,228 I mean the hole there, 39 00:01:45,228 --> 00:01:47,961 and I'm just gong to line up the holes. 40 00:01:47,961 --> 00:01:49,128 Press it down. 41 00:01:49,136 --> 00:01:51,037 Make sure that when you apply the hot glue, 42 00:01:51,037 --> 00:01:53,572 that you apply it to the shiny side. 43 00:01:53,572 --> 00:01:55,534 Then take your Craft-Tex center 44 00:01:55,534 --> 00:01:58,701 and I just kind of shape it a tiny bit 45 00:01:58,712 --> 00:02:02,295 to make it have a little bit more interest, 46 00:02:03,448 --> 00:02:05,451 and then I'm going to turn it over 47 00:02:05,451 --> 00:02:07,443 and put a little bit of hot glue 48 00:02:07,443 --> 00:02:08,540 on either side of that hole, 49 00:02:08,540 --> 00:02:12,040 once again remembering not to cover it up. 50 00:02:12,514 --> 00:02:14,847 Then I'm lining up that hole 51 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,537 and sticking it in place, just like that. 52 00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:22,856 Go ahead and assemble all of your flowers. 53 00:02:22,856 --> 00:02:26,424 I've gone ahead and I've made all of mine already, 54 00:02:26,424 --> 00:02:28,317 and then we're going to start popping them 55 00:02:28,317 --> 00:02:30,234 onto our string lights. 56 00:02:30,733 --> 00:02:32,723 Now, when I attach them to the string lights, 57 00:02:32,723 --> 00:02:35,723 I did it on every second light bulb. 58 00:02:36,021 --> 00:02:37,688 So I have them here. 59 00:02:38,274 --> 00:02:39,870 You're going to slide your little flower 60 00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:42,120 onto the string light bulb. 61 00:02:42,842 --> 00:02:45,842 It's going to be a little bit tight, 62 00:02:47,016 --> 00:02:49,683 but just gently get it on there. 63 00:02:50,499 --> 00:02:52,431 Depending on the size of your hole punch, 64 00:02:52,431 --> 00:02:54,260 and also the size of the little bulbs, 65 00:02:54,260 --> 00:02:56,593 because I'm sure they vary a little bit, 66 00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:58,615 you can adjust your hole size. 67 00:02:58,615 --> 00:03:00,196 It's definitely better to go smaller, 68 00:03:00,196 --> 00:03:03,306 because you do want these to be tight and firm 69 00:03:03,306 --> 00:03:05,752 on the bulb and not rattling around on there. 70 00:03:05,752 --> 00:03:07,250 So, you can take the pencil 71 00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:10,333 and just push it all the way through, 72 00:03:11,109 --> 00:03:14,080 and that's going to help us create the perfect size. 73 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,314 I'm attaching the flowers on every second bulb, 74 00:03:17,314 --> 00:03:19,397 so let's put this one on. 75 00:03:21,076 --> 00:03:23,659 Just remember, it's going to be 76 00:03:23,776 --> 00:03:26,329 a little bit of a tight squeeze at first, 77 00:03:26,329 --> 00:03:29,632 but once it's on there, it's going to hold really well. 78 00:03:29,632 --> 00:03:32,715 I think I want to do a neon pink one. 79 00:03:34,083 --> 00:03:35,348 So I'm going to go through 80 00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:38,015 and just do this with my pencil, 81 00:03:39,063 --> 00:03:41,732 just to make sure it definitely fits, 82 00:03:41,732 --> 00:03:43,849 pull it all the way through, 83 00:03:43,849 --> 00:03:45,849 and here's my third one, 84 00:03:46,024 --> 00:03:49,441 and just really gently pull that through, 85 00:03:50,756 --> 00:03:52,699 and it's coming now, there we go. 86 00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:54,145 Always make sure that when you're 87 00:03:54,145 --> 00:03:56,269 attaching the flowers to your bulb, 88 00:03:56,269 --> 00:03:58,776 sometimes you have to force a little bit to get it on, 89 00:03:58,776 --> 00:04:00,758 and I want you to make sure that you're only pushing down 90 00:04:00,758 --> 00:04:03,006 on the green part of the light, 91 00:04:03,006 --> 00:04:04,818 and not on the actual bulb, 92 00:04:04,818 --> 00:04:06,458 because we don't want to break that. 93 00:04:06,458 --> 00:04:08,019 Continue adding flowers 94 00:04:08,019 --> 00:04:11,019 until your light strand is totally full. 95 00:04:11,019 --> 00:04:14,537 These are the perfect lights to hang up all year round, 96 00:04:14,537 --> 00:04:16,215 but you can change up the colors, 97 00:04:16,215 --> 00:04:18,148 and they're great for any holiday, 98 00:04:18,148 --> 00:04:20,542 hang them in your bedroom over your bed, 99 00:04:20,542 --> 00:04:23,328 or even hang them in your crafty nook. 100 00:04:23,328 --> 00:04:27,495 They're the perfect thing to brighten up your space.
