How to Make Paper Flowers

Here is a fun and easy project for all mixed media artists.

 

supplies needed:

pages from a book or magazine, acrylic paint, gel medium, scissors, pen.

Draw a simple flower shape, outline it twice.

 

Paint the paper with one coat of acrylic paint and let it dry.

When the paint dries, coat each flower with gel medium....it can be glossy or matte.

Here I am using a thick layer of  Golden Regular Gel (gloss)

Smear it on as thick or as thin as you want...when it dries, you will be able 

to see and feel the texture you created.

   

Let it dry and cut around the design.

 

Add to your art work.

 

 These can be made into any shape, style and design. 

Play it up with gel pens, different colors of pens, 

paints, and different types of paper.

Make a whole bunch all at one time and keep it

 on your worktable for easy access.

 

 enjoy!
