Hello! If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, then you know how much I LOVE The Wood Connection! I was so excited to have to opportunity to guest post over on their blog last week, and I thought I’d share with you the post from over there. Here it is!
Aren’t these boots to die for?!
Today I’m going to share with you how to make an accordion flower for your Witch Boots. But before I do that, run over to The Wood Connection and pick up a pair of Witch Boots. They’re only $4.95 {each}, hurry and get yours before they’re gone! These accordion flowers are very simple and so fun to make.
1. Cut a strip of paper. I cut mine at 3/4 in. by 12 in. Your finished sized flower will be a little more than double the width you cut.
2. Score your paper strip every 1/4 in. If you want a little more depth, you can score a little farther apart, just make sure it’s even across your strip.
3. Accordion fold your paper for the entire length.
4. Glue the ends together.
5. You’ll end up with a circle like this.
6. Flatten your paper on a flat surface while holding it.
7. Use some scrap cardstock to cut or punch out a small circle. Put some glue on the circle {I used hot glue}.
8. Then put it on the BACK of your accordion flower. Hold it in place long enough for your glue to set.
9. Glue a circle to the front of your accordion as well. Make sure it’s centered.
10. Embellish the top of your flower with jewels, etc.
11. Adhere your fun accordion flower you made, to your cute Witch Boots!
Here is a closer look that the accordion flower.
These Witch Boots were so.much.fun to finish! I used the wood glue for the first time that The Wood Connection recommends, for adhering my paper, and it worked like a charm! And how fun are the eyelets?!
I hope you enjoyed the accordion flower tutorial, and are excited to get started on your own set of boots! It was so much fun posting over at The Wood Connection! You should head on over and check out their stuff!
