Question..

[3-purple-stars.livejournal.com]

Hello all you crafty crafters!!  I  was hoping to pick your brains about something.

So, I need to make fake flowers for a bouquet. easy no? Nope. 
These flowers must be made from.....

*drumroll*  

strips of film.

Now, I am looking for tutorials on how to accomplish this without tearing my hair out. I have already looked at ribbon flowers and such, but it seems that you cant tell its film since the edges are hidden..

I found the link below, but I think it wont look as good since I don't know if curling the film will be possible or even that I will have to make the flowers miniscule..

so, any advice?   I know I wont be using elmers glue, probably a stronger adhesive like Zap-a-Gap or something....


Thanks in advance!!!

Sofa. The final frontier.

My TV sofa decided its cushion collection needed some groovy late-'60s SF goodness.

Who was I to say no?
