Paper Craft for Spring - Recycled Cardboard Box and Fabric Flowers

This is a great way to add some color to your home. Thick cardboard boxes make excellent bases for this project. Then go through the scrap box of fabric and select a friendly fabric and matching yarn and you are ready to make this craft.

 

 

Recycling Craft - Cardboard and Fabric Flowers

For this project you will need:

- side of a cardboard box
- scrap fabric
- yarn matching fabric
- large pointed needle
- fabric glue or strong craft glue
- book binding glue
- Sizzix Big Shot
- Sizzix Bigz Clear Die “Flower”

 

 

 

Instructions:

1. For each flower you need to die cut 1 cardboard flower and 2 fabric flowers. For the flower center, cut out 2 cardboard circles and 2 fabric circles. (The centers only get covered on 1 side by the fabric as the second side will be glued onto the flower.

2. Brush on a thin coat of book binding glue to one side of the flower and one side of each center. It is important that the coat is thin so that the glue will not seep throught he fabric.

Recycling Craft - Cardboard and Fabric Flowers - Detail

If you do not have a Sizzix die cutting machine nor the die, you can also use this Flower Template to create this project. Just create a small circle template yourself to use as the center. The circle seen on the template is the base of the particular project featured with the template.
