Hydrangea Pots

I love my Cricut Explore Air and my most recent project I made using a svg file was from www.3dsvg.com. It was from the "Love your Mom bundle.

 I made the Hydrangea pots and tray. Each hydrangea has 30 flowers! I inked the pink flowers with two colors of pink inks and just one with the blue and purple. I tried to leave the centers without any ink so they had a light center. This was a fun project to make.

I didn't add the "Mom" letters across the front of each pot as the original design shows. My Mom is no longer with us so I just made it as a Home Dec item for my home.

Here is a closeup of the flowers. Not only did I ink each one but also scored each petal and folded them slightly. They are attached to a 3" Styrofoam ball that was cut in half and painted with a light green acrylic paint. Then using Petite Pearl Pins they were added to the Styrofoam ball inserting the pin in the center hole of each flower. I started at the bottom and placed a row all the way around. Then offset the next row and continued until the ball was completely filled. The leaves are cut as one piece and attached to the bottom of the ball and then to the lid of the pot.

 Thanks for stopping by.
