This is how I made a tropical ivy.
 
 
 

Necessities:

      • Flower binders tape brown

      • Glue tacky glue

      • End ball Stick

      • Roll iron dread

      • Tweezers, scissors

      • Green dyed paper

      • Red dyed paper

      • Punch Vice

Look Mata Hari part 4

 

  • Have long pieces of iron dread, of different heights, as many as you like.
  • Bind them together as an bunch of flowers en put a new piece around it at the trunk, so that it is thicker then the branches.
  • Use as much as needed till you reach the wished thickness.
  • Wrap it around with brown flower binders tape, so, that there is no iron seen anymore.
  • The result is not very strict, but the result is, to my opinion, much more lively.
  • Don’t you want this, wrap as long till its smoother.

  • When the leafs and flowers are punched, you have to bold them up a little.
    •  You can use the end ball stick for that.

  • They come in different sizes.
  • Do this on a soft undergrounds, a mouse mat is very handy to use.
  • Attention! Make sure that there is an extra layer on it, because when you use real rubber, it can come off.
  • Next stick the leaves upon it, let it dry very well, before you glue the flowers.
  • Don’t do it to decent and easily use the worse punched leaves. 
  • On a real tree or ivy are worse leaves and flowers as well and it makes it more natural. This shape of punch I used for the leaves.

 

 
The flowers are from an American punch.   3/32-5 Petal $42.50  ( Hanky Panky Crafts )
 
Much  pleasure  with the workshop.

When you make something yourself, it would be very nice if you should share it with me.

I would place your photos on the side if you would like that.
