In search of a craft that could use my excess of nail polish, I have come across these cute flowers. These flowers can be used to decorate items you already own, or can create new items.

Step 1: Supplies Needed

What you need is:

Floral wire (and wire cutters)

A pencil or a similar tool to shape the wire

Nail Polish (it really doesn't matter what kind)

Foam or Clay so your flowers can safely dry

A ventilated area - nail polish stinks

Step 2: Cut Your Wire

Cut a length of wire approximately 15 cm long. Try to keep the wire straight without too many kinks.

Step 3: Forming Petals

With the aid of a pencil or some other tool, form 5 petals. Wrap the wire around the centre after forming each petal. Make sure you leave a tail of wire so you can stick the end in a piece of foam or clay to dry.

Step 4: Nail Polish Filler

Starting with the inner edge of one petal, paint on some polish. Add a bit more polish and "paint in" the centre. Essentially it will create a film just like what you see with a bubble wand. Fill in each section with polish.

Some nail polish is thinner that others. I find that a semi-transparent (a thin polish) doesn't work so well unless you start off with a more thicker polish.

Step 5: Set Aside

Once you have the petals filled in, stick the flower in clay or foam to allow it to dry. You can add a centre to the flower in another colour if you wish. You could also add a second layer if you want, but it's usually fine with one coat. If you wanted to add a clear glitter layer, you could do that too. Let it sit a while to dry.
