00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.440
kittia pulaskas is a melbourne based

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:12.560
craft based designer and kittia is going to

00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:14.080
be showing us how we can make some

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:15.520
beautiful flowers that we can keep at

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:18.960

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.919
looking forward to getting stuck in to

00:00:27.919 --> 00:00:29.840
today's craft session with you do you

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:31.199
want to maybe introduce yourself a

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:32.479
little bit and tell us what we're going

00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.199
to need for today

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.520
for sure so i'm a craft based designer

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:39.440
but in layman's terms that basically

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:42.080
just means i'm a professional crafter i

00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:44.400
do craft for my job

00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:46.240
and it's really fun

00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.960
and i am a huge fan of color as you can

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.280
obviously see around me i create

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.560
colorful diy projects props like the

00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.360
pinata that you see over there

00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:01.759
illustrations and installations all

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.960
using craft based techniques

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:06.639
and i've been running my own business

00:01:06.639 --> 00:01:08.800
for 11 years and i love teaching craft

00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:12.000
workshops and i love flowers and i'm

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.560
from canberra originally so

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.639
this is the perfect workshop for me and

00:01:16.639 --> 00:01:18.240
i'm really excited to get stuck into it

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:20.160
with everyone

00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:21.600
fantastic so what are we gonna need

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:22.560
today

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.120
okay so there were some there was a list

00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.039
that was sent out

00:01:27.039 --> 00:01:29.680
prior to the workshop um i'll just go

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.120
through what we've got here to work with

00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.199
but if you don't have um i think i saw

00:01:35.199 --> 00:01:36.800
something come up into

00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:38.720
um the chat just then saying someone

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:41.199
didn't have um straws and skewers that's

00:01:41.199 --> 00:01:43.360
okay you can still create the flowers

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:45.520
today without those things and then you

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:47.440
can add that in a bit later on if you

00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:49.520
want or just keep the flowers

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:50.960
um without

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:53.680
any stems so to speak so i'll just

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.080
quickly show you if you um

00:01:56.080 --> 00:01:58.000
if you can see the craft cam um you'll

00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.440
be able to see

00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:01.680
what we're making today so these are

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.840
just a couple of examples of what um

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.880
i've made but as you can see from these

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:09.120
and the workshop photo you really can

00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.360
make any kind of color combination any

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.319
kind of shape that you want it's really

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.479
all about injecting your own imagination

00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:17.840
into the project and making these

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.080
flowers your own so the materials that

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.240
i've got today i've got a whole bunch of

00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.039
scrap colored paper i just use stuff i

00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.599
already had around the house you can

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.440
use plain paper if you don't have

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:31.440
colored paper and color it in with

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:34.560
markers or colored pencils um

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.479
wrapping paper is also really good or

00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:37.919
just basically anything colorful you've

00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.639
got lying around

00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.080
so um

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.680
i've also got some templates which i've

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.840
cut out now we sent a template sheet

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.639
around so if you've managed to cut out

00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.479
any flower or leaf shapes from that

00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.319
by all means you can use them but i'll

00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.280
also be showing you how to just draw

00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.599
your own shapes so i've got my templates

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.560
okay i also decided to um

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.120
to have some colored markers

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.840
because i wanted to add some detail to

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.440
my petals

00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:11.599
i've got straws uh which i'm going to

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.839
use for the stems and i've got a whole

00:03:13.839 --> 00:03:15.599
bunch of adhesives here so i've got a

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.159
glue stick normal sticky tape and

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:19.919
double-sided sticky tape but you can

00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.160
just make do with one of those things

00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:23.920
depending on what you've got available

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:25.600
and then finally scissors so those are

00:03:25.600 --> 00:03:27.040
the materials we've got to work with

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:28.080
today

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.959
all right so you might be wondering

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:33.600
what can i use my beautiful flowers for

00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:35.600
after i've finished creating them i've

00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:37.360
got a few ideas for you that i thought

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:38.800
i'd throw out there for you to think

00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.040
about as you're making so

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:42.560
one thing you could do with these is you

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.720
could stick them in plant pots so you

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:47.360
know how sometimes maybe for an indoor

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.600
plant you might have a little uh sign

00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:51.760
that kind of says what the plant is

00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:53.120
this is kind of you could use the same

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.800
idea you could just stick these in your

00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.560
pot plants for a little bit of added

00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.839
color um you could use them as cake

00:03:59.839 --> 00:04:01.760
toppers so if you're creating i know a

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:03.279
lot of people are doing baking and lock

00:04:03.279 --> 00:04:06.320
down so if you're creating a cake

00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:07.920
perhaps you could decorate the top by

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:09.680
sticking a variety of these on the top

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.120
and maybe you could make some tiny

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.519
versions with toothpicks

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:15.200
for some cupcakes if you were gonna do

00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:16.080
that

00:04:16.080 --> 00:04:18.160
or you could give them to someone as a

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.480
gift to brighten their day i mean i

00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.000
think we could all do with a little bit

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.320
of day brightening at the moment

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:26.880
so maybe there's someone that you know

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:29.200
and love that needs a little pick-me-up

00:04:29.200 --> 00:04:30.880
why not give them a bunch of these

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:32.880
handcrafted flowers so those are just a

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:34.240
few ideas

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.000
um i'd love to hear your ideas for what

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.680
you might want to do with them so let us

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.079
know in the chat as we go along today uh

00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.640
what you might use these for

00:04:42.640 --> 00:04:44.160
okay

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.040
so i guess now we're ready to just jump

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.160
straight in uh matt if you're ready to

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.480
go we can get started i'm ready to go

00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.959
i've got paper i've got scissors i've

00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.959
got glue i'm i'm ready to craft along

00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.279
with you

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.880
okay fantastic so the first thing that

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:05.200
you're going to need to do is cut out

00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:06.880
your templates from the template sheet

00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:08.720
now if you didn't have access to a

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:09.760
printer

00:05:09.760 --> 00:05:12.399
and if you didn't pre-cut these

00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.120
beforehand that's totally okay you can

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.160
either cut out your shapes now or follow

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.200
me

00:05:19.200 --> 00:05:23.200
as i um show you how to draw some

00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:26.320
petals and some leaf shapes from scratch

00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:28.399
now if first of all if you have already

00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.640
got your templates what you'll need to

00:05:30.640 --> 00:05:32.079
do is

00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.399
pick what you'd like to be the flower

00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.640
petals so here's some that i cut out

00:05:36.640 --> 00:05:38.959
earlier that i just drew

00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.440
so um but then also i've got here a

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:43.839
template that's just a single petal that

00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:45.760
i'm going to use to make something like

00:05:45.760 --> 00:05:48.560
this daisy flower here so if you do have

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.440
your templates ready you can pick what

00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:54.160
you're going to use as your first color

00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.640
so maybe i might choose blue and then

00:05:56.640 --> 00:05:57.760
you can

00:05:57.760 --> 00:05:59.920
trace around with a pencil

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:01.920
your templates

00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.959
and then cut out your petals now for my

00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:06.399
daisy and

00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.160
like i said before you can do whatever

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.360
you like with this for my daisy i cut

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.839
six petals but it's up to you so you can

00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.760
get started on that now if you don't

00:06:15.760 --> 00:06:17.519
have a template

00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.279
i'm going to show you just some quick

00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.680
and easy ways to create some petal

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.680
shapes for yourself

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.600
so i'm going to use the daisy shape

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.040
again because

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:28.959
why not

00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.279
so what you can do

00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.200
is you can start off

00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:34.880
by just drawing

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:38.000
half a petal so

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.800
i'm just going to draw a half of an oval

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.160
shape here

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:43.760
or it kind of looks like a curved

00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:45.519
triangle

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.800
so you can just draw that and then

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.360
cut it out

00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:58.480
now

00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.480
you can use this to create

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.720
a petal shape um from any kind of card

00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.750
let's change colors so you can see

00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:08.059
[Music]

00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.399
i'm going to trace around it so you're

00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.160
basically just creating your own

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:13.440
template

00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:15.680
to create some petals with and then i'm

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.639
going to flip it over

00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.480
so it's a mirror image

00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.160
and then you'll see can you see how

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.279
there's like a absolutely symmetrical

00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.519
pedal that's just been formed

00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.760
so that's one petal so then you can just

00:07:29.760 --> 00:07:32.000
cut this out and use it

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.560
to trace other petals so that you've got

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.160
your whole collection so you've just

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:37.760
made your own

00:07:37.760 --> 00:07:39.360
flower

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:40.560
template

00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.880
there so you don't actually need the

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:44.880
templates that i that i gave you if you

00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:47.839
didn't have access to a printer so once

00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.720
i've cut this out

00:07:51.200 --> 00:07:53.360
i've now got this petal that i can use

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.079
to create more for my flower and also

00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.279
if you were doing a flower that is this

00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.040
shape so i guess more of a like

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.600
traditional flower shape

00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.720
you could use a semicircle like this

00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.639
as the little colored inserts on your on

00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.440
your flower to decorate your petals so i

00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:17.839
encourage you to get creative

00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:19.920
and see what shapes you can draw

00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.560
yourself or use the templates that we

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.199
provided for you so i might give you a

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.279
couple of minutes to

00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.639
get stuck into creating your petals

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.480
and then we'll

00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.519
jump back in and i'll show you how to

00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.440
start decorating them and folding them

00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.160
to really bring your flower to life

00:08:40.160 --> 00:08:44.000
so let's get going

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.279
i think i'm going to

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.519
do a

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:50.639
pink

00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.320
and orange flower for mine so i'm gonna

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:55.519
use this

00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.680
template that i just made

00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:00.000
and i'm going to trace

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.839
six of these petals for my daisy

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.079
now if you have questions at any point

00:09:14.079 --> 00:09:16.959
feel free to pop them in the chat and

00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:20.399
either matt or myself will um we'll jump

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:21.839
in and then we'll be able to answer them

00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:24.160
for you

00:09:32.079 --> 00:09:35.040
i like to trace all the shapes first

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:37.760
before i cut them i think it's something

00:09:37.760 --> 00:09:39.199
to do with

00:09:39.199 --> 00:09:41.839
me having to kind of create lots and

00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:43.199
lots of different craft things for my

00:09:43.199 --> 00:09:45.360
job and i kind of have developed this

00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.440
assembly line process

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.079
so i do everything in batches so the

00:09:50.079 --> 00:09:53.040
first batch is tracing the second batch

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:54.720
is cutting

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.240
that's just a habit that i have but

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.480
everybody crafts differently and it's

00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.720
exciting to find out

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.440
different people's methods for creating

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.760
the same things

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:36.880
i've just seen a question in the chat

00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:40.240
can i color in my flowers absolutely

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.480
if you want to start decorating your

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.120
petals with some markers or pencils or

00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:46.639
whatever kind of drawing implements you

00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.600
have you can on screen is an example of

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.000
how i've created some detail on my

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.160
flower petals but by all means

00:10:54.160 --> 00:10:56.000
get a head start and start coloring in

00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:57.199
the petals

00:10:57.199 --> 00:10:58.880
in whatever way you like i'm going to be

00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:00.959
doing that for myself in a little bit

00:11:00.959 --> 00:11:02.560
once i've finished cutting them out so

00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:04.480
by all means yes you can

00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:09.399
color in your and decorate your petals

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:33.320
i'm just having a look at some other

00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.079
questions can we use colored tissue

00:11:36.079 --> 00:11:39.040
absolutely you can

00:11:39.040 --> 00:11:41.119
uh you can use whatever materials you've

00:11:41.119 --> 00:11:41.919
got

00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.559
lying around

00:11:45.439 --> 00:11:48.959
i'm very big on upcycling and recycling

00:11:48.959 --> 00:11:50.559
and reusing stuff we've already got you

00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.640
can create beautiful things from stuff

00:11:52.640 --> 00:11:53.839
you've already got around the house

00:11:53.839 --> 00:11:56.160
without the need to buy new stuff every

00:11:56.160 --> 00:11:58.079
time and that's what i really love about

00:11:58.079 --> 00:12:01.079
craft

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.320
um

00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:02.400
okay

00:13:02.400 --> 00:13:05.120
yes by all means get started whenever

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.960
you um whenever you would like to uh if

00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.400
you

00:13:10.400 --> 00:13:12.320
haven't started already uh just jump

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.960
straight in and get cutting and pasting

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:15.919
um

00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:17.200
and you can work at your own pace

00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:18.640
because i'll explain everything to you

00:13:18.640 --> 00:13:20.000
in this session and then if you haven't

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.679
finished the project by the end of the

00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.880
session you can continue at home

00:13:24.880 --> 00:13:25.679
oh

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.120
oh john twohill has just asked what's my

00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.600
favorite flower

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.400
i think at the moment it's tulips

00:13:34.400 --> 00:13:36.480
i honestly just love them so much they

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.640
come in so many beautiful colors and

00:13:38.640 --> 00:13:40.320
i've really been enjoying them while

00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:41.840
i've been in lockdown i try to buy

00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.039
myself

00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.440
on my weekly grocery shop

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.039
uh a little bunch of flowers to just

00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.120
brighten up the home and i've really

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.039
been enjoying the tulips in melbourne

00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:52.160
this year

00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:54.400
um if you wanted to post what your

00:13:54.400 --> 00:13:56.160
favorite flower is drop it in the chat

00:13:56.160 --> 00:13:58.400
i'd love to um i'd love to hear what

00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:01.360
flowers you enjoy as well

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.960
okay so as you can see down on the mat

00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:06.880
my flower is sort of starting to take

00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:10.320
shape if i kind of arrange it

00:14:10.400 --> 00:14:12.080
i kind of went rogue and decided that i

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.679
was going to make all of my petals

00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:15.120
different colors i know that's not

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.440
necessarily how things look in nature

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:19.360
but we're getting creative here and they

00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.039
don't have to be realistic

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.520
so now i'm just going to use um

00:14:23.520 --> 00:14:26.880
markers to add a little bit of detail to

00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:30.559
my flat to my flower petals

00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.480
i'm just going to keep it pretty simple

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.799
so one way you can add detail like i did

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.120
here

00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:44.799
is

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.799
just by drawing

00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.640
some thin lines now you might not be

00:14:48.640 --> 00:14:50.080
able to see this i'll use a different

00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:53.080
color

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.720
now matt i know you're there crafting

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.559
somewhere i wanted to check in and see

00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.919
how your flowers are going do you want

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:06.799
to

00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:08.840
let us know what you're creating at the

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.000
moment i am currently following along

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.240
with you and so i have got a bunch of

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.480
pink petals and a bunch of yellow petals

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.559
because i was going to make

00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.799
two different colored flowers but now

00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.320
that i've seen you well ended yours

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.159
together i might have to do something

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.679
similar

00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:27.120
yes i

00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.840
highly um advocate for that now i just

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:31.200
want to show you a trick if you want to

00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.520
make your petals look a little bit 3d i

00:15:33.520 --> 00:15:35.039
don't know if you can tell

00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.039
but these fla these petals are a little

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:38.559
bit 3d

00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:40.159
what you can do

00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.559
is you can just take each petal and fold

00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.440
it in half

00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:47.760
along the

00:15:47.760 --> 00:15:50.320
long edge

00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.720
use my fingernails to create a really

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.000
tight crease

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:55.440
and then you've got

00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.360
a petal that

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.799
has a little bit of dimension to it

00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.000
which is really interesting

00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.200
yes there you go

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.520
also feel free to change your mind like

00:16:13.520 --> 00:16:14.640
i think i just changed my mind and

00:16:14.640 --> 00:16:16.400
decided i didn't want to decorate it

00:16:16.400 --> 00:16:18.960
with markers after all that's just part

00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.640
of the creative journey you have to

00:16:20.640 --> 00:16:23.840
experiment and try things and then

00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:25.919
figure out what works for you

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.520
all right so we've got some other

00:16:27.520 --> 00:16:29.679
favorite flowers here we've got

00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.960
sunflowers roses

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.120
oh a bunch of people um

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.480
a bunch of people like the rose

00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.840
okay

00:17:05.919 --> 00:17:08.799
lily's camellias beautiful pansies are

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.280
beautiful

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.679
so i've seen a question in the chat that

00:17:17.679 --> 00:17:20.720
says how does the flower survive out in

00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.919
the rain i wouldn't put these flowers

00:17:23.919 --> 00:17:25.039
outdoors

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.039
just because they're made of paper

00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:29.600
but um i would keep them as indoor

00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:32.240
creations

00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:34.240
the one thing that's great about these

00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.919
is that they will live forever so you

00:17:37.919 --> 00:17:41.799
don't have to water them

00:17:51.919 --> 00:17:54.320
okay i wanted to check in how is

00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:56.559
everyone going

00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.720
with um your petal creations

00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.320
have you cut out your petals yet um what

00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:06.320
kind of shapes are you using do you need

00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:08.159
a little bit more time

00:18:08.159 --> 00:18:11.440
to um cut out your initial petals

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.679
i'm actually going to

00:18:13.679 --> 00:18:17.360
draw some smaller petals to layer

00:18:17.360 --> 00:18:20.400
on top so we've got plenty of time i'm

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.919
going to use i think yellow

00:18:23.919 --> 00:18:26.320
for that and create kind of like i've

00:18:26.320 --> 00:18:27.520
done here

00:18:27.520 --> 00:18:30.720
a second layer of paper

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.559
to give my flower a little bit more

00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.559
dimension

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.720
okay so yep i will give everyone a

00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.720
little bit more time to cut out their

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.400
petals while i create my second layer

00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:14.559
when you're done when you think you're

00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:15.679
done with your petals and you've

00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:17.840
decorated them all and you're ready for

00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:19.520
the next step just type it in the chat

00:19:19.520 --> 00:19:22.080
so i can um so i know where everyone's

00:19:22.080 --> 00:19:24.400
up to

00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.400
but don't feel rushed everyone it's all

00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.400
good

00:20:14.159 --> 00:20:16.640
thank you so much for your question what

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:18.799
are some projects you are working on now

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.520
as a creative

00:20:21.520 --> 00:20:24.080
one of the my favorite projects at the

00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:26.480
moment that i'm working on is a

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:27.679
halloween

00:20:27.679 --> 00:20:30.240
costume project so i love halloween

00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:32.559
because i love dressing up in costume

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:34.799
and i've got this really funny cat

00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.120
called tina she's actually sleeping over

00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:38.400
there i hope she doesn't wake up because

00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:40.000
she's a bit of an attention seeking cat

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.919
and she'll jump up on the desk

00:20:41.919 --> 00:20:44.799
but i'm actually creating a halloween

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.840
costume diy project that's a matching

00:20:47.840 --> 00:20:50.080
costume for me and my cat

00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:53.679
so i'm tossing up between

00:20:53.679 --> 00:20:56.240
a ufo and a space person

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.960
so she'll be sitting inside the ufo

00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.840
or

00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:02.000
a cowboy themed

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.400
costume where she's sitting inside a

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:05.520
little

00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:07.360
western saloon

00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:09.200
and i've got a cowboy hat on and she's

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:11.520
got a mini cowboy hat on

00:21:11.520 --> 00:21:13.760
what do you think is best

00:21:13.760 --> 00:21:16.640
help me choose

00:21:17.919 --> 00:21:20.400
and another question ufo i'm seeing um

00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:22.880
i'm seeing some people say ufo

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.840
cowboy theme i do love a cowboy theme

00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:27.120
another question is do you make

00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:29.760
paintings and i don't actually i'm not

00:21:29.760 --> 00:21:31.760
very good at painting i mainly stick

00:21:31.760 --> 00:21:34.640
with papercraft

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:36.720
oh lots of people are saying

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:37.679
uf

00:21:37.679 --> 00:21:38.799
oh

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.799
okay

00:21:45.120 --> 00:21:46.799
okay

00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:48.320
i'm just keeping an eye on time and so

00:21:48.320 --> 00:21:51.120
those of us um oh okay some of you want

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:54.080
to see tina well no doubt she will come

00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:55.840
over before the end of this workshop and

00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:57.360
you'll be able to

00:21:57.360 --> 00:21:59.039
you'll be able to see her

00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.720
so i just want to show you real quick

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:02.240
and don't worry if you're not up to this

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:04.159
stage yet um

00:22:04.159 --> 00:22:05.840
i'll just explain it to you so that you

00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:08.640
know what to do when

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.880
when you're at this stage

00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:11.760
so

00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:13.440
so

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.360
i will show you how to kind of start

00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:17.039
sticking your

00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.600
your flower um petals together to form

00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:21.600
the actual flower

00:22:21.600 --> 00:22:24.159
now i'm not sure how many of you have

00:22:24.159 --> 00:22:26.240
decided to do the daisy shape and how

00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.679
many of you have done um other shapes

00:22:29.679 --> 00:22:32.080
but uh basically

00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:35.039
the method is similar so let me show you

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.279
um

00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:38.960
let me show you

00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:40.640
how to do this daisy and then i'll kind

00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:41.919
of show you for anybody else doing

00:22:41.919 --> 00:22:44.720
different shapes

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:48.960
okay

00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:51.679
so i'm going to cut two circles out from

00:22:51.679 --> 00:22:54.720
my circle template

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:56.960
and these are going to be for the center

00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:01.440
of our flower for the front and the back

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.120
now for my

00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:07.360
sticky adhesive i'm going to use double

00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:09.600
sided tape but you can use glue

00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:11.600
or sticky tape as well

00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:13.200
i just like double sided tape when i

00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:14.960
work with paper craft because it's less

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.520
messy than sticky tape and i feel like

00:23:17.520 --> 00:23:19.039
you can cut it into different shapes it

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.120
just makes it more versatile

00:23:21.120 --> 00:23:21.919
so

00:23:21.919 --> 00:23:24.320
one of our flowers one of our circles

00:23:24.320 --> 00:23:26.640
sorry is going to be

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:28.640
the back

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:30.960
part of

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.480
our flower

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:35.520
and that's the same that's the same for

00:23:35.520 --> 00:23:38.080
both kinds so

00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:39.840
i'm going to now you can either use glue

00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:43.440
for this or i'm using double sided

00:23:46.320 --> 00:23:48.720
you just have to stick whatever adhesive

00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:50.159
you're using

00:23:50.159 --> 00:23:54.600
all over one of the circles

00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:05.520
lots of people have cats it seems

00:24:05.520 --> 00:24:07.840
someone has a bunny oh that's cute i

00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:10.799
used to have bunnies

00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:13.600
someone's cat's called glenn one of my

00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:18.240
best friend's cat is also called glenn

00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.480
love um i love his name for a pet

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:25.600
okay so um someone asked a question

00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:27.200
about which

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:29.039
which circle to use doesn't matter which

00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:30.960
one whatever one you think is going to

00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:31.840
be

00:24:31.840 --> 00:24:33.200
a nice

00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.200
size for your flower i gave you a couple

00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:37.039
of options on the template sheet but you

00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.600
can choose whichever one you like

00:24:39.600 --> 00:24:41.679
so once you've got

00:24:41.679 --> 00:24:43.440
the glue or the sticky tape on one side

00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:46.320
of your circle you can just stick

00:24:46.320 --> 00:24:48.399
your flower petals

00:24:48.399 --> 00:24:49.120
or

00:24:49.120 --> 00:24:51.360
your

00:24:51.840 --> 00:24:53.440
or your normal

00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.799
flower shape on top

00:25:07.360 --> 00:25:12.240
so see how that's all stuck down now on

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.679
on that circle

00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.399
that is where we want to be at

00:25:22.399 --> 00:25:24.240
can you use foam circles with adhesive

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:26.080
backing yes in fact that would be

00:25:26.080 --> 00:25:27.279
awesome because they've already got

00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.520
stickiness on the back so yes if you've

00:25:29.520 --> 00:25:32.399
got foam circles

00:25:32.399 --> 00:25:34.799
by all

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:35.679
so

00:25:35.679 --> 00:25:37.440
again don't worry if what up to this

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:39.600
stage i'm just showing it to you now so

00:25:39.600 --> 00:25:40.880
you can

00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.880
know a bit for later

00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:45.120
so then what we're going to do is you're

00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:46.399
going to either stick some more glue

00:25:46.399 --> 00:25:48.960
down or use sticky tape

00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.320
or whatever you've got on

00:25:52.320 --> 00:25:54.399
and you're going to stick your skewer

00:25:54.399 --> 00:25:56.960
or your straw

00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.039
down in the middle there

00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:01.279
so that it's all

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:03.919
uh so that it's all stuck together

00:26:03.919 --> 00:26:05.360
now for those of you who said you didn't

00:26:05.360 --> 00:26:07.039
have any straws or skewers that's

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.559
totally fine

00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:10.399
you can actually just what we're going

00:26:10.399 --> 00:26:12.000
to basically be doing is we're going to

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:14.880
go in and stick the middle of our um our

00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:16.480
other circle on top of the middle here

00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:17.840
so it forms

00:26:17.840 --> 00:26:19.919
a double-sided flower and so if you

00:26:19.919 --> 00:26:22.240
don't have a straw you can still just

00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:23.360
stick

00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:26.159
your um stick your other circle down on

00:26:26.159 --> 00:26:27.919
top and then you could even maybe you

00:26:27.919 --> 00:26:29.840
could put some string in there and hang

00:26:29.840 --> 00:26:31.600
it or maybe you could just have a

00:26:31.600 --> 00:26:33.440
collection of

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.080
these these 3d kind of flowers that you

00:26:36.080 --> 00:26:38.399
can decorate presents with or stick on a

00:26:38.399 --> 00:26:40.640
corkboard or something

00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:43.519
so that's um that's kind of how i'm

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.240
assembling this

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:48.559
and then when i'm ready i'm going to use

00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:51.440
double-sided sticky tape to sticky tape

00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:52.559
the

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.159
um the top circle on

00:26:56.159 --> 00:26:58.080
but before i do that i'm actually going

00:26:58.080 --> 00:26:59.840
to stick my other petals on i just

00:26:59.840 --> 00:27:02.159
wanted to show you that um

00:27:02.159 --> 00:27:05.840
before i went any further

00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:13.039
so there's been a couple of questions in

00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:16.159
the chat about what inspired me to do

00:27:16.159 --> 00:27:20.880
diy and become a professional crafter

00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:22.720
and i think um

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.399
i just always loved craft my mum is

00:27:26.399 --> 00:27:29.279
super crafty as well and she does

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:31.279
every single craft that you could ever

00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:32.480
imagine

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:33.600
and so

00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:35.440
it was just always in you know we were

00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:37.200
always doing creative stuff when i was a

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:40.080
kid so i think i naturally just loved it

00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:43.120
and then i also

00:27:43.120 --> 00:27:45.760
very stubborn and i always want to do

00:27:45.760 --> 00:27:47.360
things my way

00:27:47.360 --> 00:27:49.840
so when it comes to

00:27:49.840 --> 00:27:52.720
thinking of what i wanted to do as a job

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:55.120
i immediately wanted to just have my own

00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:58.240
business and i wanted to do something

00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:02.320
that i really loved as a job

00:28:02.320 --> 00:28:03.919
and

00:28:03.919 --> 00:28:05.840
there wasn't

00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:07.919
you know like a course that i could do

00:28:07.919 --> 00:28:10.559
to become a professional crafter i still

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.799
just decided to try and make it work

00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:14.640
myself and

00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:16.480
yeah i've always been really independent

00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.320
so i think that's

00:28:18.320 --> 00:28:21.840
that's what me kind of

00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:23.440
because it's my favorite thing in the

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:24.399
world

00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:26.960
i really just want to go to the world

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.399
for a living so yeah

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:32.000
thanks for that question that was a

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.559
great question

00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:36.880
is my mom here with us today well she

00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:38.799
said she was going to be here mum if

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.559
you're in the chat can you say hi to

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:43.279
everyone and if you're not

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.760
definitely

00:28:49.280 --> 00:28:53.159
i don't think she's here

00:29:06.159 --> 00:29:09.159
okay

00:29:11.760 --> 00:29:13.919
so

00:29:14.719 --> 00:29:16.879
i'm just loving you all telling me how

00:29:16.879 --> 00:29:18.320
many pets you've got and what their

00:29:18.320 --> 00:29:19.440
names are

00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.159
a black rabbit called licorice that's so

00:29:22.159 --> 00:29:24.159
cute

00:29:24.159 --> 00:29:25.599
and another question do you do many

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:27.918
zooms actually i do

00:29:27.918 --> 00:29:31.040
since um lockdown i used to teach a lot

00:29:31.040 --> 00:29:32.960
of craft workshops

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:35.040
face to face but since lockdown

00:29:35.040 --> 00:29:37.119
obviously everyone's at home and zoom

00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:38.560
has been

00:29:38.560 --> 00:29:42.240
the way that we run things now and

00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:44.079
i kind of like it i mean it's not as

00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:46.560
personal like i'd love to just be in a

00:29:46.560 --> 00:29:48.480
room with all of you but i really love

00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:50.400
it because i get to connect with people

00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:54.400
all over australia and that's great

00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:02.000
can we use paddle pop sticks

00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:04.160
yes you can use paddle pop sticks

00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.640
instead of straws or skewers by all by

00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:09.359
all means do that

00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.440
you're all asking so many great

00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:13.520
questions today

00:30:13.520 --> 00:30:15.760
what type of craft do you like the most

00:30:15.760 --> 00:30:19.359
oh that's such a hard question

00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:21.599
i love making pinatas

00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.359
i have to say

00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.240
but i think my ultimate favorite craft

00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:28.400
is creating

00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:32.000
giant props so you can see behind me

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.160
there's a giant pencil

00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:37.119
i just love playing around with

00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:40.160
oversized things it's really that things

00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:43.440
that are meant to be smaller or normal

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:45.760
sized and making them giant i really

00:30:45.760 --> 00:30:49.640
love that that's fun

00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:54.640
okay

00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:56.880

the gallery very very much because one

00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:26.400
of our favorite things to do

00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:27.520
is

00:32:27.520 --> 00:32:29.760
help people make art and help people

enjoy art and so it's really nice to do

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:34.160

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:52.640
in the gallery

00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:56.160
okay so i'm going to show you now um

00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:57.920
we've got

00:32:57.920 --> 00:32:59.440
15

00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:03.119
minutes left so like i said don't rush

00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:06.160
um i'm gonna just show you how i would

00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.560
stick on the leaves if you want to

00:33:08.560 --> 00:33:11.359
create some leaves for your flowers

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:12.240
um

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:13.920
let's explore

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:16.640
some different ways to doing that so

00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:18.160
i've got my little flower here that i've

00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:20.800
created it's looking very colorful i'm

00:33:20.800 --> 00:33:23.599
loving it um oh there's just been a

00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.280
question in the chat are plastic straws

00:33:25.280 --> 00:33:28.160
okay yes i mean if you can reuse a

00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:31.119
plastic straw for a craft purpose then

00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:33.760
that's a fantastic idea so yes you can

00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:35.760
use plastic straws

00:33:35.760 --> 00:33:38.160
okay

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:44.400
all right so

00:33:44.560 --> 00:33:46.640
i've got my leaf template i'm going for

00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:47.680
this

00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:52.079
spiky leaf for my daisy so like we did

00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.000
before you'll just choose which leaf you

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:56.160
want you to use or you could draw your

00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:57.520
own leaf

00:33:57.520 --> 00:33:59.520
it's up to you

00:33:59.520 --> 00:34:02.320
and then

00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:04.320
you can trace around the template and

00:34:04.320 --> 00:34:06.800
cut it out i'm gonna i'm gonna do two

00:34:06.800 --> 00:34:09.200
leaves

00:34:11.520 --> 00:34:13.440
lisa has said my flower is also a

00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:16.079
drinking straw that's so clever lisa you

00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:17.920
know that's actually a great idea for

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:19.359
what you could use

00:34:19.359 --> 00:34:21.359
these for if you're having

00:34:21.359 --> 00:34:23.599
a spring party when we're allowed to

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.520
gather in groups again

00:34:25.520 --> 00:34:27.280
maybe you could decorate everybody's

00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:29.599
straws with a little flower and then

00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:31.440
make some summery

00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:32.880
beverages

00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:35.680
that would be fun

00:34:45.359 --> 00:34:47.839
okay

00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:57.040
right i'm really quickly cutting this

00:34:57.040 --> 00:35:00.960
out so it might be a little bit messy

00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.200
i'm kind of an impatient crafter i have

00:35:03.200 --> 00:35:06.160
to say and i

00:35:06.160 --> 00:35:08.720
i kind of do things a little bit

00:35:08.720 --> 00:35:10.880
quickly because i just get so excited i

00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:12.079
just want to see what the thing's going

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:13.680
to look like

00:35:13.680 --> 00:35:15.839
so a lot of the time i

00:35:15.839 --> 00:35:18.160
rush

00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:23.280
oh another question do you

00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:24.960
or do you know

00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.839
how to do art on t-shirts

00:35:30.319 --> 00:35:32.240
there's a few different ways

00:35:32.240 --> 00:35:34.000
um

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.200
if you wanted to

00:35:37.200 --> 00:35:38.640
photo want to

00:35:38.640 --> 00:35:40.160
tease

00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:43.359
this that you can get actually put it in

00:35:43.359 --> 00:35:46.160
your printer at home and print out any

00:35:46.160 --> 00:35:47.440
photo from your computer and then you

00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.400
can iron that on to a t-shirt and it's

00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:51.599
washable

00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:54.480
so that's one way you could screen print

00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:56.880
you could use fabric markers and draw

00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:58.720
onto a t-shirt

00:35:58.720 --> 00:35:59.920
um or you could do something like

00:35:59.920 --> 00:36:01.119
tie-dye

00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:03.280
uh has anyone tried tie-dye it's super

00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:06.280
fun

00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:14.400
okay

00:36:18.319 --> 00:36:20.560
okay

00:36:21.040 --> 00:36:22.720
i've got some leaves

00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:24.480
now i'm going to do a similar thing that

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:25.920
i did to the petals where i'm going to

00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:29.119
fold my leaves in half to create just a

00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:31.680
little bit of

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:33.680
depth

00:36:33.680 --> 00:36:35.359
just make them look

00:36:35.359 --> 00:36:36.880
like they're coming to life a bit more

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:40.720
than just being cut outs on paper

00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.760
now when i want to stick them

00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:47.200
on

00:36:47.200 --> 00:36:49.200
i'm going to again use you can either

00:36:49.200 --> 00:36:51.119
use sticky tape or double sided tape for

00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.839
this

00:36:55.520 --> 00:36:59.520
i am going to just quickly

00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:01.760
now can you see this everyone

00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:04.400
gonna wrap

00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.520
i'm just going to wrap the leaf

00:37:07.520 --> 00:37:09.920
around my straw like this

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:12.079
and then i'm just kind of going to bend

00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.480
it backwards a little bit

00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:18.079
so it sticks out

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:21.359
really love that i'm gonna do it with

00:37:21.359 --> 00:37:24.160
the other leaf again

00:37:27.040 --> 00:37:28.240
there's another question in the chat

00:37:28.240 --> 00:37:30.960
what past jobs have you had oh my gosh

00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.880
so many my first ever job was as a santa

00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:38.240
photographer in the shopping center

00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:40.480
i dressed i had to dress up like an elf

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:42.640
and take photos at christmas time that

00:37:42.640 --> 00:37:44.400
was my first ever job

00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:47.760
uh i have worked at universities as a

00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.920
teacher i have been a receptionist

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:52.880
i

00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.359
did gardening for this lovely old lady

00:37:55.359 --> 00:37:58.560
for a long time when i was at art school

00:37:58.560 --> 00:38:01.520
i've worked in lots of clothing shops

00:38:01.520 --> 00:38:03.839
done heaps of different jobs

00:38:03.839 --> 00:38:07.040
i had my own fashion label once

00:38:07.040 --> 00:38:09.680
that was fun

00:38:09.680 --> 00:38:13.280
okay so look there's my little um

00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.200
there's my little flower

00:38:15.200 --> 00:38:17.839
we have about five minutes left of the

00:38:17.839 --> 00:38:20.079
workshop but i've shown you everything

00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:21.200
now that

00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:23.119
um

00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:25.520
that you need to create this so if you

00:38:25.520 --> 00:38:27.839
haven't finished it's totally fine and

00:38:27.839 --> 00:38:30.000
you can just go away and finish it off

00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.880
in your own time

00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:33.839
hopefully

00:38:33.839 --> 00:38:36.240
an idea of how to create

00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:39.200
different um different kinds of flowers

00:38:39.200 --> 00:38:41.440
now at this stage i might just ask if

00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:43.680
there's any questions about the project

00:38:43.680 --> 00:38:46.160
that you want to ask before the session

00:38:46.160 --> 00:38:48.079
ends and hopefully i can answer them for

00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:50.000
you before we go

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.480
drop the questions in the chat if you do

00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:53.920
want to know anything in particular or

00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:56.000
want me to show you anything again and i

00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:59.000
will

00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.280
that so much

00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.720
some gorgeous rainbow ones oh everyone

00:39:22.720 --> 00:39:24.880
these are so great

00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:28.240
i'm loving seeing all of these

00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:30.720
oh there's a kind of christmasy themed

00:39:30.720 --> 00:39:33.920
one it looks like a tree almost

00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:36.800
i love this

00:39:37.200 --> 00:39:39.359
oh so great okay uh there's been a

00:39:39.359 --> 00:39:40.040
couple questions

00:39:40.040 --> 00:39:41.839
[Music]

00:39:41.839 --> 00:39:44.880
not sure how to make the leaves

00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:46.960
um oh someone said i felt like i was on

00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:48.720
play school that is the greatest

00:39:48.720 --> 00:39:50.400
compliment that anyone could ever give

00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:53.440
me because that is my ultimate dream job

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:57.280
to be a host on play school so

00:39:57.280 --> 00:39:58.800
let's put it out there to the universe

00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:00.480
maybe one day i will be

00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:02.720
all right someone's asked ask a question

00:40:02.720 --> 00:40:05.200
about the leaves okay

00:40:05.200 --> 00:40:07.119
let me quickly demonstrate before we go

00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.400
um how to do a leaf

00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:13.839
for those of you that missed it

00:40:13.839 --> 00:40:15.920
so i'm just going to cut out a normal

00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:17.280
leaf shape here just because it's

00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:19.680
quicker

00:40:21.359 --> 00:40:23.119
right so we've got our leaf shape i'm

00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:24.720
going to fold it in half like we did

00:40:24.720 --> 00:40:27.359
with the petals

00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:29.760
so it's

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:31.839
sort of 3d

00:40:31.839 --> 00:40:35.359
then i'm going to use my

00:40:35.520 --> 00:40:38.880
double sided sticky tape or you can

00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:40.640
sticky tape it on

00:40:40.640 --> 00:40:42.640
with normal sticky tape i'm just using

00:40:42.640 --> 00:40:43.920
double sided just because it's right

00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:45.760
here

00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:48.720
and then i'm just going to

00:40:48.720 --> 00:40:51.359
stick it onto the straw or skewer or

00:40:51.359 --> 00:40:52.880
whatever you've got and just press it

00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:54.960
down make it really um

00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:57.119
make sure it's really stuck on there and

00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.200
if you've got sticky tape this is where

00:40:59.200 --> 00:41:00.800
you'd put

00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:05.839
some sticky tape over the top and just

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:08.480
make sure that's on so once you've

00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:10.400
got that on the straw

00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:12.000
or whatever you're using

00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:13.359
you can then just

00:41:13.359 --> 00:41:15.119
just bend it

00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.280
back like that

00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:20.000
so it goes from this

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:21.200
and you can just

00:41:21.200 --> 00:41:23.920
use your thumb

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:26.880
and just bend it back

00:41:27.200 --> 00:41:29.440
and that's how you create the leaf does

00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:32.400
that make sense to everyone

00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:34.720
hopefully it does

00:41:34.720 --> 00:41:36.880
um

00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:38.960
everyone i just have to say i'm so proud

00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:40.400
of all of you your flowers look

00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:42.800
beautiful and i hope you've had a really

00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:46.000
fun time um

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:48.400
it's a really easy and simple project

00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:50.160
that you can do but you can also get

00:41:50.160 --> 00:41:51.520
really creative with it now that you

00:41:51.520 --> 00:41:53.280
know all the steps and create some

00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:54.480
really

00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:56.880
detailed and intricate flowers um you

00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.599
could even try and play with size maybe

00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:01.839
you could make some giant ones or some

00:42:01.839 --> 00:42:04.559
really tiny ones um yeah it'd be

00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:08.240
interesting to see what you come up with

00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:11.440
