Everlasting wire flowers

This is a wire craft piece featuring beautiful transparent petals.

There are also wire craft flowers made with resin or nail polish.

The version that uses white glue to make the petals can be created with items you have on hand, so it feels easy to try.

Color a clear file with pens, then apply white glue over the colored areas.

Let it dry for a day, then wrap wire around something like a plastic wrap core to form petals.

Use white glue to attach the wire to the petals you made, trim any excess, and bundle them together to complete the flower.

By changing the shape of the petals, you can create a variety of flowers.

Try making the favorite flowers of the older adults as well.
