Paper Flowers That Sizzle

Do you love making paper flowers we can show you how to make flowers that sizzle. Some people believe that for a flower to have that sizzling look it has to be an exotic flower. That is just not true and flowers can sizzle.

In this article we will look at a few ways that will help you make unique flowers that sizzle. Some of the most common things are often over looked by paper flower makers.

The right amount and color of glitter can make a flower sizzle. Many flower makers never look beyond using glitter on any color other than white. Glittery white flowers have become something that people expect to see. You can use any color glitter and it is easy enough to apply but the look has lost a little of its sizzle due to its being overdone.

If you want to make a bloom sizzle then you need to color coordinate your paper and glitter. For example a pale pink flower with hot pink and gold glitter is sizzling. A pastel yellow bloom with dark yellow glitter in the center of the flower only is also sizzling.

A purple flower with silver glitter on just the petals will certainly bring out the color and the best of any floral arrangement made with any color purple especially an arrangement of different shades of purple.

A shiny crepe flower in an arrangement or a bouquet will also be sizzling. To add the shine to your flowers simply spray with a hairspray that does not contain alcohol from about two feet away. This gives the flowers a nice light shine enough for them to be noticed. Always do a test sample on a piece of scrap crepe paper first to make sure it does not run. You do not want to ruin your beautiful flowers.

Waxing paper flowers is another way to get them to sizzle. Waxing is easy to do but caution should always be used for both beginners and advanced flower makers to ensure your safety during the waxing process. You can hand dip the flowers in the hot wax and allow them to dry or you can brush the wax on the flowers with a small paint brush if you prefer.

Adding beads to your crepe paper flowers is another way to add a sizzling look to them. If you have a single flower you can add the beads to the center instead of using or making a stamen. If you have a centerpiece of flowers then you can add beads wherever you like to give the centerpiece a little extra flair.

Making paper flowers that sizzle is really easy. If you do not care for any of the suggestions in this article use your imagination combined with the things you find beautiful and try that. The most beautiful flowers come from paper flower makers that take the time to experiment using different "extras" on their individual flowers and arrangements.
