Instructions:
- Cut the foam ball in half. Poke the dowel rod into the rounded side of the ball-this is for the dowel rod stem. Vary the angles that the dowel is poked in. Paint each side of the ball pieces green as well as the dowel rods.
- Dilute the gold paint with water and brush over the pine cones with a big brush to make getting in the tight spots easier. Leave to dry.
- Sponge paint brown and orange onto the pine cone.
- Take apart the sunflowers so only the petal pieces remain. Glue the petal layers together with thick glue.
- Paint the pine cone edges with gold glitter glue.
- Glue the pine cone on top of the sunflower petals with thick glue.
- Glue the flat side of the foam ball to the back of the petals and leave to dry.
- Put some glue into the inside the hole on the foam ball and insert a dowel rod. Leave to dry.
- Optionally you can add paper or silk leaves to the dowel rods.
