It's a Priceless Life: Dollar Store

Remember the hurricanes I made HERE?

Well, I wanted to turn them into something special for Valentine's Day....

Turn this into THESE

I wrapped the glass with plain white paper. I didn't want to ruin the hurricanes, just change them for this holiday. This way, I can take the paper off, store it or throw it away.

I bought 2 packages of silk rose petals from the Dollar Tree {{heart}}. There were 300 petals in each. I really bought 2 of each, but only needed 1 of each.

I did 2 different techniques and I will show you both. On the pink one I placed the petals so they 'curled inward'...this way they laid 'flat'. I started at the top...I didn't like that you could see the top of the hurricane glass...I will show you how to fix that in the next few steps.

Keep gluing, making sure to overlap and alternate so the petals cover all the glass/paper. Since I had plenty of petals, I put mine very close to together.

To 'finish' off the bottom row, I folded over a petal and glued it. This created a nice edge.

I glued those around the bottom.

Ok, the top doesn't look 'bad'...I just didn't want to see the edge of glass...

I used scissors to cut petals in half....

And glued another layer behind the top layer...couldn't see the glass anymore.

The red one I glued the petals curling outward so they were 'fluffy', like a flower.

One drop of glue on the back...

Glue on, staggering petals so the paper/glass doesn't show.

If I ever do this again, I will put coordinating paper behind the petals...if I had used red paper, you wouldn't have been able to see the paper at all...oh well...next time.
