Instructions
-
Using a 4 in. long piece of Duck Tape®, cut out a right triangle that is 2 in. wide and 4 in. long.
-
Roll the triangle onto the top of your thick wire or dowel rod to create the middle of the flower.
-
Cover the rest of the thick wire or dowel rod in Duck Tape®, using the color or print you want for the stem of the flower.
-
Cut 2 pieces of Duck Tape® for your large petal. Overlap them slightly and lay them sticky side up.
-
Place floral wire in the middle of the Duck Tape® piece. Make sure the floral wire is the same length as your Duck Tape® sheet.
-
Cut 2 more pieces of Duck Tape® and place them on top so that the wire is sandwiched in between the Duck Tape®.
-
Draw a large tear drop on the Duck Tape® while trying to keep the floral wire in the middle of the tear drop.
-
Cut your tear drop out using your scissors. This will be the large petal.
-
Wrap the petal around the middle, making a cup shape. Secure with a small piece of Duck Tape® at the base of the flower. Bend your petal to form any shape you want, too.
-
Repeat these instructions with other Duck Tape® prints and colors to make your own unique Duck Tape® calla lily bouquet.
