Create a Stunning Sunflower Art Piece

You'll Need

Gather the following materials for your sunflower art project:

• Photo frame
• Woolen threads of different colors
• Scissors (big and small)
• Napkin
• Glue
• Silk threads

Instructions

Begin by removing the cardboard part from your photo frame. Next, take a blue napkin and cut it to the necessary size for your frame.

Now, take a small strand of yellow yarn to create the petals of your sunflower. Since sunflowers are not just yellow, include smaller strands of orange yarn to add dimension. Use small scissors to smooth the ends, forming swirls that mimic petals. Position these petals on your panel to shape your picture. Since your artwork will be covered by glass, there is no need to glue the threads to the base. After completing the first layer of the sunflower, create small leaves from the leftover yarn. Your main sunflower design is now ready.

The next step is to craft the middle of the sunflower. For this, you will need finely chopped pieces of wool. For the stalk, use green wool. Take a small pinch of thread from the skein and twist it with your fingers into straw-like shapes. Incorporate small strands of light green and black into the main strand and blend them together. Then, take strands of yellow, green, and light green yarn and arrange them together, forming the shape of leaves. To add detail, use strands of black yarn to create thin veins on the leaves.

Enhance your artwork by making additional plants using silk threads, and utilize brown woolen threads to create a fence. Finally, use white threads against the blue background to craft the effect of clouds, which can be supplemented with strands of gray threads for added depth.

Finish your project by covering the picture with glass.
