July’s Member Make Challenge blew us away! Annual Members crafted alongside Lia and created their own versions of our Ruby Rose project. We loved seeing all of the submissions flood in. The creativity you all brought to the challenge. . . Everybody did such an amazing job.
The Challenge Continues!
August’s Member Make Challenge: Advanced Icelandic Poppy Flower
Nothing says summer quite like “poppy.” (Even if “Iceland” doesn’t scream sunshine and flowers.) Their transparent petals catch the light and are a perfect bloom for our extra fine crepe paper. For this month’s Member Make Challenge, I showed advanced techniques that I’ve been experimenting with. Follow the YouTube video as I guide you through making this stunning and colorful flower. Put your own spin on the project by choosing different colors, adding your own personal touch, or creating a bright bouquet of them!

I was wondering if there were instructions or a video for this template? I cut the svgs but can find how to assemble the pieces. Thanks!
Yes! There’s a video right underneath the tools & materials list 🙂
Hi Lia & team,
I have been trying to download/print but to no avail. Help please and TIA
Cheers,
Mercia
Hi! Can you email us at hello@liagriffith.com with more details about the problems you’re having?
Can you use pan pastel for the fringe?
Yes! You could set it with a fixative spray so it doesn’t rub off when handling it (https://www.amazon.com/Krylon-K01305-Coatings-11-Ounce-UV-Resistant/dp/B00397STRW/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=fixative+spray&qid=1564682397&s=gateway&sr=8-3)
