I have been playing with this gorgeous kit this month:

The FULL TART. Sooooo pretty!

The first thing I was drawn to was the pearl centres! Nice! So I carefully pulled a bunch of stamens out of the middle of one of the batik flowers:

And replaced them with a pearl centre:

Oooooh! Pretty!

Then with the stamens I was no longer using, I seperated the bunch into smaller piles of 3 stamens each. I twisted the stems together with a bit of glue on my fingers and then threaded these through a pin-pricked hole in the centre of a green flower. This made a really cute little flower on a stem:

When customising flowers, stickles, kindyglitz, glitter and glimmermist are your friend! It’s the easiest way to alter a blossom.

 Here, I pulled the flower petals apart and sprayed them with pink glimmermist (See the mess I made!!!??) Then I coated the stamens in ice stickles (kindyglitz is basically the same)

 When it’s dry, reassemble, and now you have a shimmery flower that goes really well with the Pink Paislee glitter alpha!

Have fun personalising your flowers!
