Why I love this craft
This craft was fun to make and turned out really cute. You can use leftover hula skirt raffia if you have some on hand, or simply pick up one from Dollar Tree. You’ll also need a recycled jar (which I always have on hand). These flowers would make cute tablescapes for a summer party or just for seasonal decor.

- spray paint (color: sea foam green)
Tools
Instructions
- Watch the video. Follow along with the video tutorial for a step-by-step walkthrough of how to make your own magnetic board.
- Remove a bunch of the hula skirt sections. You want just the plain strands of the hula skirt. Then, cut them down to about 6".
- Attach pieces to wooden ring. Work with about 2 pieces or so and tie them onto the wooden ring. Fold the hula pieces in half, tuck them under the ring, and pull the tail ends through. Keep adding ties until the whole ring is covered. Once covered, fan out the pieces, and trim any pieces that look out of place.
- Embellish. Cut a circle piece from a ribbon and attach with hot glue. This is the center of your flower. Cover the cut rim of the ribbon with another piece of raffia from the hula skirt.
- Finish center of flower. Twist two pieces of hula skirt, and hot glue around the edge of the ribbon circle.
- Make the stem. Use a bamboo skewer as the stem, attached with hot glue.
- Paint a glass jar. Spray paint the jar with sea glass paint. Work in light layers, letting dry between each coat.
- Embellish the glass vase. Braid hula skirt sections, and hot glue them in rows to the glass jar.
