Making Leather Flowers Part 1:
Inspiration:
Cake Flower… Beautiful
Tools:
Scissors (Sharp), Leather, Pot and pan, picture of flower
with good detail for petal cutout.
Step 1: Cut out the flower petals. I literally blew up the
pic and cut the petals out for both rows.
Step 2: drop into a pan of almost boiling water and let all
the leather soak up the water.
Step 3: I used spoons and molded the now pliable and wet
petals into a petal like shape. I used really big spoons. The flower petal size
will dictate. But any concave surface will work.
Step 4: leave to dry overnight in the spoons.
Notes: I kinda squeezed the water out a bit before molding
the petals on the spoon. I made each
petal al little different so they will stack and look individual. I wish I had
white leather. No luck finding it at the store either.
