I would think you could just glue a stem to the back, or use a pearl button (with a shank) and attach it to a stem for the center. These are really cute! I was looking for a gerbera daisy to use for my best friend's guest book. I'm always excited when I get to use my cricut!
Those are super cute! If anyone wants to make these but doesn't have the right cartridge, you can buy a computer program, Sure Cuts a lot 2, for $80 ($60 on sale right now at mycuttingbuddy.com). You connect your cricut machine to your computer and you can use any clip art, design, or fonts you can create on your computer. That way you don't have to spend $90 on one cartridge. You have to go through the trouble of making the design on your computer, but then you never have to buy another cartridge! I'm using mine to make a claddagh stencil to etch our wine glasses.
Nice! I had an idea like this except I don't have a Cricut and don't plan on buying one. Instead, I was thinking of using paper punches of varying flower sizes, layer them, and stick them on my manzanita centerpieces. Your gerberas look lovely! It gives me a little hope that my idea may work--thank you for sharing!
So here is my first tutorial, PURPLE GERBERA DAISY of my centerpieces, you will need:
1. a CRICUT MACHINE, AND GEORGE AND BASIC SHAPES CARTRIDGE.
2. purple cardstock
3, floraltape, and floral wire,
4. glue
5. a piece of napkin
6. a jewerly pearl or stone for the center.
..just folow this steps
.. the center is a piece of napkin, and a pearl insterted in the center of the flower:
it's very easy!!
