Summer sunflower

Another really cute and really easy dyi craft. This one again inspired by my mother and sister-in law, and i give them all the credit because they are awesome at coming up with all these fun crafts. This time they came up with a wooden sunflower to hang on our door for summer time. The picture has numbers on it according to the steps if you have questions just leave a comment or email.

 

1. Cut out your flower petals and center as big or small as you want your flower. 

2. Paint your petals. One coat is enough if you want fast dry and a rustic look. With brown paint you can add more depth and brush the edges, again for a more rustic look.

3. Paint the center brown. You can leave it all brown or add yellow for depth really it's up to you, be creative. 

4.glue the edges of the petals together and then the center to the petals. I used glue for wood . (I can't remember the name but I can look it up)

5. Let it dry over night, and then drill a hole in one petal skip a petal and drill another hole. The holes will allow you to  put some wire through the flower to hold it up. You can use thin green wire to hang the sunflower.
