Super easy, quick and cute; a fun project for any age or occasion. These little jewel-centered flowers are made from paper towel tubes, spray paint and plastic gems. A hot glue gun is also helpful.
Simply flatten the cardboard tubes and cut off 1/4" slices. Fold each of the strips in half and apply hot glue to the outside of the fold. (Which will be the center of the flower) Add as many of the folded strips as you like as you continue applying hot glue to the fold (center).
I happened to have some orange spray paint and decided to give that a try. I admit, getting spray paint into all of the nooks and crannies was not the simplest procedure. But I like the way it looked once painted. All that was left was to fire up the old glue gun again and attach some gems.
I think these flowers add a festive look when sprinkled across a tabletop. They add a sweet little pop of color and whimsy.
