If I can make it from paper, I can make it from metal.

The original project was a simple spiral turned flower. I found the original on Pinterest and I'm a Yarner. 

Here is what I came up with:

I made this small boquet for a friend. The red is a metal flower that was enamaled.

The 3rd grade students made these for their teacher that was out for the week.  She will love them upon her return!
They each were excited to make her a flower to show that they missed her very much.
NOW FOR THE METAL:

Draw the flower

Cut the spiral with a jewelers saw

Start rolling the metal with round nose pliers

Finish using your hands

These finished flowers have been drilled and enameled. They can be worn as charms or pendants.
