Steps (4 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    With a craft knife, cut 2 – 4 cm leather strips about 20 – 30 cm in length. Fold the strips lengthwise, wrong sides facing, and glue together along the bottom.

  2. 2

    Cut parallel lines along the top fold to about 2/3 of the width of the strip.

  3. 3

    Roll the strip into a flower, pushing up the inside slightly for a three-dimensional effect. Secure the bottom with glue.

  4. 4

    Glue a leather circle over the bottom part and attach the flowers to the vase with double-sided tape.

    Tip / Glue snap fasteners to the vase and the underside of the flowers. This allows the flowers to be easily removed from the vase for cleaning.
