Altered Eclectics - July Challenge

 
I created these "flowers" from dollar store hair twisters!

 
The "flowers" could be used as Christmas tree ornaments like the green embellished with the die cut poinsettia. 
 
 
These are fun to make and super easy!  I punch out a 1 3/8" circle, add adhesive all over the circle and scrunch the twister onto the circle, place a gem in the center, add some leaves and it's ready to embellish a wreath or scrap page or card.  Add a pin back and pin it to a jacket!
 
We hope you'll share your altered items with us this month.  You can find the Altered Eclectics Challenge HERE.
