smallhobbitWe had our first Dare to Dabble session face to face yesterday. It was lovely to go back and be able to do craft together.
My first flower has a chocolate in the middle which is surrounded by small strips of paper, cut to form the petals. It was a bit fiddly getting the paper round the chocolate.
After which I made a couple of sunflowers/daisies. These are a long strip of thick paper/thin card concertina-ed up and then with the ends stuck together to form the flower head. The dual colour one has a thinner strip on top of the wider strip and both are conceertina-ed together.
Then I made a couple of hyacinths, which again are long strips of thick paper/thin card with slots cut down about two-thirds of the way and then wound round a straw.
Which made rather a nice bouquet altogether. A very enjoyable afternoon.
