It’s easy to cut yourself otherwise.<br />First you use metal shears (like from the hardware store) to cut open the cans.<br />Then you use a scrapbooking paper punch to cut out the flowers-simpler flower shapes work better than complex ones, which are far more likely to get stuck in the punch.<br />Use a hole punch to punch the center of each flower.<br />Stack ‘em and press the brad through the holes, wait to bend the legs of the brad.<br />Either: punch a hole in your ring blank and press the flower/brad into place and open up the brad legs<br />Or: make a loop at the end of a piece of wire, thread the flower.brad through the loop and bend the legs. Take the rest of the wire and make a loop large enough to fit your finger, then wrap the rest of the wire under the flower like a tornado.Stitch Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459378449207485930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421284.post-27782313151777671452012-04-18T19:32:53.626-04:002012-04-18T19:32:53.626-04:00So cute!
