Create a musical send off for your bohemian styled wedding day. What fun for friends and family to grab a music maker and play a cheery tune as you head off to honeymoon! Wood flutes are decoupaged in patterned papers to coordinate with the boho chic wedding theme, then embellished with gems, pearls, tiny bells and feathers for a decidedly boho chic style that is so pretty, you'll toot your own.. flute!
Using pre measured and cut strips of patterned floral paper from the Patio Party paper pack, use Mod Podge and a wide brush to thoroughly coat the back of the paper strip.
Next, thoroughly coat a bamboo flute with Mod Podge, being sure not to come up too high near the mouthpiece. Brush lightly to remove excess product away from the holes on the flute.
Align the bottom edge of the flute along the straight edge of the paper, and lay the flute down lengthwise. Roll the flute onto the paper, pressing out any wrinkles or air bubbles as you roll.
Use a pen or pencil to carefully poke through the paper to re-create the holes for playing the flute.
Embellish the flute with washi tape and colorful faceted gems. You can also wrap the flute with strands of pearls.
Tie a length of grey twine to the end of your wrapped and embellished flute. Secure with a knot, and to the ends, add bohemian flair, like tiny bells or fluffy feathers. Each flute can be decorated in a different way. They make lovely wedding favors, as well.
