One last Goodie from being Helmar's October Guest Designer

Once again it is Karen Taylor and I was so thrilled to join Helmar last month as their guest designer.

Today I am going to share a quick, fun and cute project that will make anyone office or kitchen bulletin board look fantastic!

EVEY ONE is making rolled flowers and that is what I did. I adhered mine with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and then painted Gemstone Adhesive on a floral leave from the floral department at a local craft store and sprinkled with glitter.

I adhered the leaf and push pin with Helmar Gemstone Glue and I was done....like I said quick, fun and cute!

Great gift for a girlfriend or co-worker.....or with the holiday almost here how about a secret Santa gift!

We all need beauty in our lives....make some! Until next time. BE CREATIVE!

For this project I used:

Helmar 450 Quick Adhesive and Gemstone Glue

Patterned Paper Best Creations

Misc: Leaves and Glitter (craft store)

Be sure to check out ALL the fantastic projects made with Helmar products!
