Let's Make a Vellum Flower Banner!

Welcome to my channel and Week 6 of 2024, where I'm sharing a weekly crafty project. Today I'm working with colored vellum to create stunning soft translucent flowers for a banner in my studio. I share the techniques to working with vellum, adding color, shaping the flowers and the things I learned along the way.

Annette, this project is just lovely. So interesting to see you make the vellum flowers and then decorate the banner pieces! What a beautiful addition to your craft studio!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Marie! So happy you liked it. I love how it looks in my studio!

[@RuthieAubs]

Love this, so pretty!! The flowers made of vellum are so different and dainty! The green beads called Ribbit - for Frog!! 🤣 You can add the bow to each end of the ribbon you will be using!! Beautiful job as always!! TFS!!🌺🏵🌸

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks, and that's a great idea to add the bow to both ends. Thanks for watching!

[@kathytrush430]

What a beautiful home decor piece! It will make you smile each time you go in your craft room.

[@AnnetteGreen]

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Jane. I love how it looks in here!

[@belindazimmer2107]

Annette this is so delicate and a great treat just in time for spring. It’s absolutely breathtaking! I am thinking I need one of these beautiful touches of spring banners in my bedroom/craft corner shared space. I don’t have much wall space but maybe as a vertical banner and it could even hang on a door. Thanks for sharing this lovely design for springtime. 🥰

[@AnnetteGreen]

Belinda, thanks, and that's a great idea to go vertical. I bet that would be so pretty too!

[@marieshields5382]

How pretty Annette ❤

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much!

[@Flamingo2706]

Very beautiful ❤

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much!

[@kathleenspeegle3517]

Very pretty!!!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Kathleen! So happy you like it!

[@PamShenouda-ey7tg]

So pretty!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you Pam! 😊

[@rhonies9229]

Very pretty.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you! 😊

[@maddie7196]

Beautiful

[@AnnetteGreen]

thanks so much!

[@jodieb4970]

Love this. I think I need to make a banner for my craft room. I even have some colored vellum.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Give it a go, Jodie. I think you'll enjoy it and love the results!

[@stylesformiles79]

I have some dark mint volume. Now I know what to do with it!❤

[@AnnetteGreen]

Try it! It's so pretty in person.

[@jacquelinegirouard2913]

Very nice Annette. Question: how do you decide if you are shaping the petal from the front or the back?

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Jacquie. I discovered that it's always best to shape from the front with vellum. When I do paper flowers, I mostly start with them face down to achieve the shape I like.

[@sylviaminter4247]

Beautiful, thank you. @Annette what is the spoon tool called and from please?

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you! That's from Tonic. It's the Nuvo brand. Here's the Amazon link: a.co/d/6X5wKzp

[@marzs1214]

What are the die holder pouches you use?

[@AnnetteGreen]

I like the frosted envelopes from Scrapbook.com. Here's a link to the ones I buy: www.scrapbook.com/store/sbc-storage-3962-2.html Looks like they are out of stock at the moment, but they keep re-stocking them so don't give up.

[@catherinelancaster511]

Love this banner! So pretty! I keep trying with the flowers but I’m not very good! lol! I’ll keep trying! Love your linked video was three years ago to the day! 🌼🌸💝

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much! It does take a bit of practice, so don't give up. 😊

[@pamkenel7534]

Well don’t they look cute. The vellum gives a nice softness to the flowers.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Pam. Yes, I have to say it's probably my new favorite method for flower making.

[@pamkenel7534]

@@AnnetteGreen I think it will be my favourite also.

[@annelyon1420]

I love the flowers done in vellum. They're so delicate and pretty. Now I'm thinking I need a banner in my craft room! xo

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Anne. I hope you give it a try!

[@bethbenson1931]

Have not watched how to make flowers before even though I have the dies. So glad I came upon yours. They are the most beautiful paper flowers I have ever seen. And really love the vellum! Thanks so much for showing us how to make them! 😊

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Beth and I hope you start using your flower dies more now. The vellum is now my favorite way to do them. They just turn out so soft and pretty with that translucent look. Thanks for watching.

[@margaretreiling3635]

Hi Annette. Lovely flowers, and great tips. What is the name of the shaping tool that has a little foot? Where can it be purchased? Thanks!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Margaret. That's the "golf" tool and I linked to it in my description above. Here it is again: a.co/d/iMdbeyk

[@FutureSaint]

That banner is the most beautiful one I've ever seen 😍! I'll have to borrow your ideas 😊. Thank you for the tutorial ❤.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you! And please do try it yourself. You'll be so pleased with the results!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Celine. It looks so pretty here in my studio. I hope you DO make one!

[@MartyLong-i2j]

Annette. What kind of glue squeezer are you using for your glue bottle?

[@AnnetteGreen]

That's the Precision Glue Press by My Sweet Petunia. It's pretty great!

[@karanallen2528]
