Flower Lamp ( using Crafter's Companion felt and Dies )

Well welcome back everyone, I would like to share a lamp that I recently did with felt flowers, Crazy right?  I must say when I started this I was not exactly sure how it would turn our, but I am in LOVE with it. Supplies: Small Lamp with a shade felt Gemini Threaders Metal Die Rose Threaders Metal Die Daisy Black Diamond Beads Hot Glue Gun Glue Sticks To start send your dies and felt through the Gemini, now I have to be honest with you I did not count how many flowers I made, but I did do equal amounts of each.  After you are finished cutting sit back relax watch some TV and start rolling.  Put a little dab of glue on the bottom of each flowers to hold it together.  I also added the little black diamond after each flower was completed.  Once you have a good amount of flowers done you can start gluing the flowers to the lamp shade.  Start to fill the shade with flowers.  Make sure they are touching on another. You will be very happy when
