hello honey bunnies welcome back it's me jenny okay guys today's project is going to be how to make um prima flowers okay i've been doing some flowers for my art journal and i figured that maybe i can show you guys how you can make them so you can use them for your um for your arts your art journaling or your um just really anything you can really use it for anything um now i don't own prima flowers but they roughly just look almost like this okay they kind of look almost like this only a little bit more prettier and more sparkly but they're basically the prima um floral embellishments that come in a little pack now these are from recollection and i got these on sale and um and i figured i was making some for my art journal and i figured let me show you guys how to make them okay so okay so let's put this on the side it's gonna be i don't think it's gonna be too much of a long video but you know knowing me it probably will turn into like a 30 minute video okay so let's go in order what you're gonna need for this project okay you obviously gonna need some flowers okay now you can you have several flowers you can pick from you can pick flowers from um like for example these are like floral flowers that you can get anywhere on michaels even at home if you have them at home you can probably grab a couple of these little stems and just work with them so you can use that okay i like to use these flowers but you can also use paper flowers they sometimes come in a bunch of a little package you could get these at michael's ac more anyway you you basically um have um anywhere they have um you know diy projects you can also make these yourself with the punching holes uh with these punching these these punchers you can probably make them yourself as well maybe i'll do a video on that next if you guys want to see a video on how to make these um out of paper let me know i might just do that but anyway these i didn't make these come already like that i bought these um in a little container at michael's and they were on sale and i just got them okay now you can also make these flowers out of lace okay now how you will make them out of lace is you will probably just need like a template and just cut out the flowers and then you can make them at a place this really also comes out really nice and you can also make them out of any kind of flowers any kind of i'm sorry not flower fabric okay now i made these um not too long ago and i also made this one not too long ago okay and i also made this one which is my favorite not too long ago now i make hair accessories for my etsy shop so you know i'm a little bit more experienced in how to make these but if you you know practice you will definitely um will learn and will get better at this okay now these flowers i've made these out of um i made these flowers out of actually uh fabric okay because i when i do my hair accessories the etsy shop i like to use a lot of fabric and a lot of different um different um items so i this right here is actually made out of fabric okay but i'm not gonna go into a details on how i make these because it will be too much of a long video and it's definitely going a different direction but we're gonna try to uh do something similar to this okay and i will link my etsy shop at the bottom of this video so you guys can take a look and see my goodies that i do sell okay all right so list of things that you need i already said the most important things are the um obviously any kind of flowers that you have okay i have these here that i want to work with with you guys and i'm going to show you two ways of doing this okay i'm going to do the the floral version and the paper version okay so all right so this is the main ingredient out of um what we're gonna make which is the floral flowers okay let's put this on the side now you also going to need some kind of gem some kind of um glitter something that you can put in the middle of the flower okay now a lot of the flowers um come with the middle part which is like this little here this little part right here you can keep that if you want i personally like to maybe use one flower using leaving this middle part in it and then another flower maybe incorporating something else like a gem or rhinestones or buttons or whatever so that's another thing you're gonna need you're gonna either need some brass that i have here okay and you can use a lot of things okay you're gonna need some brass you can also use some gems like the ones i have here these heart gems are really pretty to use and they're very sparkly um you can use some simple i have these gold embellishments that you can add in the middle these are also very simple and easy to use right there oops right there okay um you can use a lot of buttons i like to use buttons as well buttons are wonderful to use as a middle center um decorations okay um you can also there's a lot of things you can use guys you can also use some microbeads microbreeds are fantastic to use as the middle um decoration in the flowers these are awesome to use microbeads and you can also use glitter okay glitter also is a wonderful thing to use as well okay so these are just several things that you can use to decorate your prima diy flowers okay don't forget about the gems you can also use gems gems are fantastic little accessories to make your flowers look very very special these little gems that i have here are just simple see these little gems very simple and easy and cute little gems okay whatever you can put in the middle of the flower basically use okay very good so that's for decorating the flower in the middle now what i also use sometimes is i i go out of my way and i go and use some pom-poms you can also use palm this is actually this pom-pom is actually from um a lace that i have like a it's a ribbon lace that i have and um it comes actually in yards but these pom-poms you can actually sell these pom-poms um you can actually get at you know any really in michael's a.c moore any crafty store they sell pom-poms by themselves even the dollar store also sells them so what i do is i just since this comes in a since this comes attached i just snip up off and then i can use this little pom-pom as a centerpiece as well they come in many colors and sizes okay that's another idea that you can use if you don't want to go out of your way and spend a lot of money um another thing that you can use for your center is um chain i love using chain because you can put the um for example you can actually put the flower and then you can wrap around the center of the chain just like that and that will give it a really nice funky texture to your flower okay that's awesome i like to use i like using chains for that too any chain will do um i also like to use a lot of these little um applications i love using these these are fantastic you can actually cut these out to the size that is it fits your flower in the middle and then you can just apply these to the middle love using these as well i also like to use these these are also pretty i can actually make this a um a leaf from a flower if you want just like that see that and it looks pretty actually i got this from um i don't know the lightest tube right here i got these from and this is another fl this is another leaf pearl leaf i got these from um uh a shirt that i didn't use anymore it was kind of all messed up and stained so i cut off all the pretty little applicants from the shirt and i saved them okay so there's many other things that you can use i also have this here this is just like a little pretty um decorative little daisy you can cut this off snip it off and you can use it just like this see and you can use that as a middle focus focus focus focus there we go you can use this as the middle part to your flower okay these are just ideas that you can you know incorporate in your flower i don't want you to just have your flower so naked give it some nice little decoration um don't forget you can also use um beads these are these are like you know beads that you can use these are beads that you can make like earrings and like necklaces and um excuse me um bracelets you can also use beads try to use the ones that are flat the ones that are flat is better because they adhere better to the to your flower okay all right that's basically ideas on what you can use to decorate your flowers okay you have a lot of stuff here the guys that you can use so i don't want your flowers to be all bare and and plain you wanted to give it a nice pretty look to it okay now you're also going to need hot glue obviously to adhere all the stuff to your flowers you're going to need hot glue you're also going to probably need tacky glue depending on how you know you want to decorate your flowers maybe you want to apply little gems to the flowers around it tacky glue is good for that um another thing that you can also use to decorate your flowers is you can actually use acrylic paint um if you have a flower that's let's say for example a white flower and you want to give it some pretty uh you know look to it you can always use acrylic paint acrylic paint is wonderful for that and you can also use the spray spray is also fantastic to give a nice look to your flowers okay all right don't forget a scissor and don't forget to get pliers okay for the if you wanted to cut off you know snip off the flowers you might need some pliers okay all right now i you also need to get pieces of felt okay because what we're gonna do is we're going to adhere the flower to the felt and the felt really will hold and keep the flowers together and once you apply the felt and the hot glue into the the flowers with the hot glue you're not going to be able to move it so you definitely want that sturdiness on your flower so you can actually keep the project together okay so that's all you're going to basically need is a lot of stuff here but i want to give you guys you know variety i want to give you guys things that you can actually use okay so the first flower that we're going to create is going to be out of like just regular floral flowers okay now you can use as many flowers as you want um or petals i don't know i guess you can call these petals as you want you can use as many colors as you want remember this is your project so you can do whatever you want you don't have to necessarily you know uh copy a prima flower you can just do your own decoration however you want and not even worry about you know how it's gonna look okay so here with us i have a few different kinds of flowers um that we're going to use some some leaves that i have here that we're going to use and some other leaves that i have here that we're going to use okay i think i want to use um let's see what else do i want to use i like this purple one i'm going to use this purple one as well okay so i don't have to tell you guys but i'm going to tell you anyway the hot glue is extremely extremely hot be very careful with the hot glue i don't want you to burn yourselves okay so stop putting your flowers together however you want it to look okay you can maybe visualize it however you like okay maybe something like that or if you don't like that maybe you can just do something like that i think this one is way too big so i might just not use that i might just use maybe one of these okay all right so i'm gonna start putting this flower together okay let's see here cut the middle sometimes the flower has these little see the little middle plastic thing you might want to snip that off because that's gonna not help you put your flowers together you have like a little bumpy image and you don't want that okay so snip that off and be careful you don't cut your flower i've done that many times before okay so the first thing i'm going to use is i'm going to use this pink flower okay to the pink flower obviously you need your filth okay don't forget your felt we're going to adhere the pink flower we're going to put the felt on the pink flower okay so all you need is just a little dot of hot glue just a tiny dot you don't need a lot okay and you're going to apply the pink flower on to the felt okay be very careful it's very hot now you have a little gushy glue right there apply another flower so you can use that glossy glue you don't want to waste anything okay be careful it's extremely hot let's just burn myself and that's how you start your flower see that already is taking place look at that and then as you continue you just layer the flower okay and you just do like a little better flowers so i'm going to add this flower there a little tiny bit in the middle a little bit goes a long way and there you have it that's my other flower okay let's see i want to attach another one i'm going to attach this red one a little tiny glue not too much just tiny tiny tiny glue and there goes that flower okay and then you keep layering your flower into you think that it looks good enough so that you can stop okay i can't tell you when to stop because it's actually your design so whatever design you wanna you know um where however you wanna design your flower it's up to you i'm gonna stop there okay because now i wanna add this pretty blue one to the middle of this red one okay so i'm gonna do that actually no i'm gonna add this pretty sparkly one no blue one okay and there you have it and then i'm going to add a tiny green one like this one to the middle of that okay and that's actually where i'm going to stop okay so already my flower's taking taking shape you see then you see how pretty that looks okay that looks really nice actually now if you want to add to the back of the flower just say you wanted to add some leaves you can do that if you want you can add leaves to the back of the flowers just like that okay you want to add little leaves we can also add little leaves just like that so let's do that let's add our leaf to the back of the flower okay so i want to add this sleeve just like that so we're going to put a little bit of glue onto the back and we're going to add the flower i'm sorry the leaf to the back just like that okay ow be careful it's hot just burn myself okay and if you want to add another leaf to the opposite side you can i'm not going to i'm going to leave the sleeves just like that now i want to add these little tiny velvet leaves onto the side of my flower so i'm going to just squeeze in through the side any side is fine right in through here i'm going to add a little bit of glue and i'm going to add this cute little or leaf onto that side and that's gonna look just like that you see that the little leaves are pretty and i'm gonna add another leaf same way right on that side a little bit of glue and the leaf make sure it adheres very well and there you have it let's put this on the side okay there you have it guys there is my complete diy prima flower now you want to decorate the middle of the flower we could decorate the middle of the flower with so many things i'm going to show you this is a brass you want to put a little brass in the middle of the flower we can do that okay you want to put another different brass in the middle we can do that okay the pom-pom that i showed you earlier look at that that looks cute you can use a pom-pom okay you can use um let's see the buttons here let's use a coordinating color the green one you want to put a green little button in the middle fabulous there goes the button okay very nice i love this okay so what i'm going to use to decorate my middle of the flower is going to be this fantastic little um floral um bead you see that i love that so i'm gonna apply that floral bead to the back of my actually to the front of my flower okay and that's going to be my center piece of my flower so i'm going to now you might want to use um you might want to use tacky glue for this okay or you might want to use some other strong glue i'm gonna use you know obviously hot glue for the sake of the video because i want this video to go fast okay but you might not want to use hot glue for this you might want to use actually like tacky glue or um some other glue okay but for the sake of the video i'm going to use hot glue okay and there's my complete flower now you want to give it a little bit more glitz and glitter you can always add a little bit of glitter to this you can always add some kind of glitter you can always add if you want to add um let's see you want to add microbeads to it you can always add microbeads wherever you want um you can always spray some of this um wonderful spray to it and it gives you like a nice pretty um color but this is just general okay you guys have the idea of how to create this really pretty diy prima uh flower okay it's not very difficult it's not hard all you need is a couple of flowers a couple of leaves and you know a cute little centerpiece and that's it now remember you can always use the actual original centerpiece of the flower too you don't have to you know add buttons or gems or whatever you can always use the original centerpiece which also would look nice okay and there you have it that's the first flower i want to show you okay the second flower that i'm going to show you is the paper flower okay paper flower is very very simple very easy okay let me get these out of the way these are the paper flowers that i have here okay let's get these out of the way so they're not in your way and the the paper flowers are same concept as these same concept okay now with the paper flowers you have to be extremely careful i'm now i recommend for you to use tacky glue with the paper flowers do not use hot glue because the paper is very thin and you're going to guarantee you you're going to get burn okay so use tacky glue for paper flowers for the sake of the video i'm gonna use hot glue because obviously it will dry faster okay so start layering your flower how you want to from big to small okay so i wanna do let's see this maybe this actually maybe this one um this one maybe maybe this one maybe this one and maybe this one maybe this one actually maybe this one yeah that looks good right i like that okay very good so i usually like to put them in the same order that i like because if you just throw them out you just throw them anywhere you're not gonna remember the order that you want okay so it's a good tip okay actually maybe i use yeah i'm gonna use this one and then this one okay very good so these are the ones i'm going to use for my paper flower so i'm going to start with the bigger um bigger flower okay paper flower again don't use hot glue please use tacky glue i'm going to use hot glue for the sake of the video and just start building your flower okay very simple and easy filter flower just like that build your flower okay built your flower very simple and easy this is not too hard right not too hard of a project and it takes seconds to do this it shouldn't take that long okay well your flour you're gonna burn yourself so don't use again like i said do not use hot glue please you're going to burn yourself make sure you use tacky glue especially if you're using the flour if you're doing the paper flowers not a good idea at all trust me okay and my last flower which is this one right here okay very good now there seemed to be a problem these didn't adhere how they were supposed to see them so that's okay i'm gonna add hot glue to this one right here okay and put it in the center hold that down and there you have it there you have it guys there's a paper flower look how pretty that looks all right that isn't that cute now with this one you don't actually need to put felt in the back because it's paper paper will adhere to anything right if you want to you can but you really don't need to put paper uh you don't really need to put any felt on the paper flower okay now um i want to use let's see here what can we use for the middle maybe we can use this nice bright yeah this looks good right yeah we'll use that okay so the paper flower is complete right all we need is something for the middle of the flower okay we can actually i'm gonna actually use that gigantic little gold gem that i have here this one okay and i'm going to add that to the middle of my flower okay let that sit okay and your flowers complete see that focus focus oh kiss there you go and that's your complete flower you got your paper flower and then you have your floral flower right here okay very simple right i love making these guys these are so simple to make so easy and they don't take that long i mean granted it took the video takes a little longer because i'm talking and i'm showing you and i'm demonstrating to you what to use for your flowers and what you decorate the flowers with but in reality once you get the hang of this it will take you like less than five minutes to create a simple flower like this okay very good honey buns i hope you guys like this quick well obviously he's not quick but this um tutorial um i hope you enjoy making these diy prima flowers if you guys like this video please make sure you thumbs up okay and um and i hope this is helpful for some of us okay i know that some of us can't really really go out and buy those prima flowers so to be honest with you i personally don't like buying them because i think they're a little bit pricey when i do buy them i like buying them when they're on sale or i use coupons for them so even these recollection flowers they can be really pricey i mean these originally cost 6.99 i got these on sale when they were like you know clearance and the same thing with this these were actually 6.99 so they can be a little pricey if you think about it if you're not if you don't have a coupon and you know you happen to find them in the and it's not on sale it could it could really be pricey so if you want to temporarily create your own little flowers you can do that okay i hope you guys like this video i hope it's helpful um and um and yeah i'll see you guys soon in my next video okay guys take care have a wonderful day bye
