This was a super duper fun project. Inspiration came from mobile done in the same way I had seen on pinterest. It is floral wire and tissue paper. I filled the vase with split peas to sink it all into. All in all, the whole thing probably cost about $5. I already had the vase.
I started out making circles, ovals. As I went on, I found myself getting more and more creative with the shapes, and challenging myself to come up with new ideas for each "stem." It was honestly hard to stop, and I can't promise I won't keep adding to it.
I have thicker floral wire as the main central stem. Thinner floral wire makes up each "bloom." I would shape the floral wire into whatever funky shape, ran a bead of clear elmer's around the wire, and adhered a roughly cut piece of tissue paper to the wire. After that, I cut more precisely leaving about 3/8 of an inch around the edge of the wire. Then with more elmer's, I glued that down around the edge.
It was very easy to bend everything to whatever height and shape I wanted it once it was on the main stem. From further away, the blooms look like they are floating. Definitely one of my favorite projects.
