Barn Wood Paper Flower Class

I shut the door behind me and a feeling of pure joy and happiness came over me and I had tears in my eyes. I was overwhelmed by the response to my Barn Wood Paper Flower Class. 8 people attended to make a beautiful cross. I only personally knew 1 of them, my friend Joanne. I think that was the part that made me so happy. These people took a chance on me when there are places all over offering various crafting classes. It left me feeling so grateful.

This was my first class back since my elbow surgery in October. It was fantastic. Everyone was engaged and happy to be doing something so fun. Yes! I even had a young man attend.

First step was the apply paint with a dry brush. If a washed look was desired we just added water to the brush and go over the acrylic paint.

Barn wood is extremely porous so the bases took very little time to dry. While they were drying it was time to roll the flowers. I used my Cricut to cut the flowers and each person received a small dowel to roll them with.

The quickest and easiest way to hold your flowers together is with a hot glue gun. Each flower was glued at the base and then adhered to the barn wood with the hot glue gun.
