More Metal art

For Christmas, my Mom asked me to make something she could give to her co-workers and a couple of close friends.

We settled on one of my past projects. These are made from soft metal, pressed in with an embossing tool and then filled in with a paint marker.

I think she was happy with the way they turned out.

I went to this local artist show the other day and saw something so cute. I felt kind of bad not purchasing it from the artist, but I'm all about borrowing great ideas from other people and claiming them for my own :-)

Here are the supplies.

Helpful tip: Chick-Fil-A always makes projects more fun!

I went to the local thrift store to find the molds and pie pan. I had the knob from a previous project and the rest came from Lowes. It was really fun searching around for pieces that could work as flower parts!

I spray painted the mold and knob. Drilled holes in the plate and mold and used the knob to attach it to the post.

Next up was the leaves. For this I bought some metal siding and just cut out a couple leaves, painted them and just attached them with screws.

This was such a fun project and fairly simple. I did spray it with poly to help protect it a little.

Won't it add some fun character to a flower bed or something?
