With fantasy and a few tricks, artichoke balls are transformed into unusual decorative objects. Thus the classic, which wrongly has a somewhat "dusty" image, becomes highly topical again.
It's that simple:
Cut squares of fabric and fleece 8 x 8 cm, cut the fleece squares diagonally to the triangle
Fix one fabric square spread out with Pins on Polystyrene ball
Fold four fabric squares 2 x diagonally to the triangle and pin them around the square at two corners with the tip pointing upwards
Fold the fleece triangles again and fix them staggered between the fabric triangles
Fold further sections of fabric in the same way and pin them staggered under the last row. The upper tip will then always remain free.
Alternate fabric and fleece triangles for more volume. Continue to work to the bottom of the ball. To finish, fold all four corners of a square to the middle, turn and pin in place
Wipe antique white Handicraft paint with a Paint sponge over the Terracotta-pots and let them dry. Glue the artichoke balls to the pots with hot glue. Single flowers from Remove the spring pick and attach to the "cactus" with a Pin

What is the artichoke technique?
In the artichoke technique, folded ribbons of bows or Fabric cuts are attached to Polystyrene balls or other polystyrene figures in a flaky manner with the help of Pins . This creates the typical "artichoke effect". By using different folding techniques and variations when attaching the figures, the appearance can be modified
The artichoke technique is also well suited for the Paper crafting . This is cut and folded to fit.
