Yesterday I shared my seasonal Hot Chocolate Bar and promised I would share how I DIY’d some of the fun elements. Today I’m going to share with you the Floral Branch Clips. I am so in love with these sweet Floral Branch Clips that I made with my Cricut Explore (affiliate link for your convenience). I simply adore how they look clipped to branches I stole from the trees in my yard and placed in a tall vase. They are super simple to make and there are so many options to personalize them.
I made these out of a paper similar to handmade paper that I purchased at Michaels. You could also use linen or burlap, or any other fabric that catches your fancy.
Supplies Needed:
Cardstock or fabric
Foam Glue Dots
Hot Glue
Cricut Explore Cutting Machine
Alligator Clips
The first step is to pick a flower from the Cricut Design Space Image Library. I found a simple 5 petal flower that I thought would work well. I inserted the image, sized it to about 3″ x 2.8″ and then duplicated it as many times as I could for my 12×12 canvas.
I sent this to the machine to cut from the beautiful paper I had purchased on the “cardstock” setting. I was able to get 4 clips out of one sheet of 12×12 paper.
Now that the flowers are cut, I used a double-adhesive foam dot in the center of one flower, and then layered a second flower over the first. Using the dot gives a bit of dimension to the flower. I then carefully curled the edges of the petals upward.
Cut off the back part of a button and hot glue it to the middle of the flower.
Flip the flower over and hot glue an alligator clip to the back.
That’s it! You’re flower is ready to be attached to a branch!
