Pretty Purple Tissue Flower

I have seen these amazing tissue paper balls and flowers all over the web and I couldn’t wait to make some myself. I thought Mothers Day was the perfect reason to use my new creation.

I used this fantastic tutorial from All Things Thrifty…..if you haven’t visited this blog before you are in for a treat they are amazing ladies.

So what do you think about the flowers cheezy or cute?     ***Oh and heads up to all my girlfriends and friends with little girls you will most likely see these on the next gift I give cheezy or not ha ha ha!

Fabric Flower Bandwagon

It’s official, I decided to jump on the rosette bandwagon! I have seen these amazing fabric flowers on everything from headbands, rings, and purses, to picture frames, t-shirts, and necklaces. Then my sister tells me that she is opening up an Etsy shop to sell her version of these amazing flowers (trust me hers are way cuter and sturdier than mine) so I will let you know as soon as she is up and running.

After absorbing all of this wonderful inspiration this is how mine turned out!!

 

I cut some fabric into strips and twisted the strips around a barbeque skewer to make my flowers. Then I hand stitched some of the pieces of the flower together so that they wouldn’t fall apart. Lastly I used some hot glue to attach felt to the backs.

I couldn’t decide what to do with my pretty little flowers and then I remembered I had a stash of old magnets that I could cut up and glue to the backs….

I love how they turned out!!

What is the best use that you have seen for these flowers?

Princess Tutu

Because I have a boy whenever I get to make something really girly I have so much fun with it.

I gave this tutu to my niece for her second birthday. I was so excited to give it to her and I think she really liked it. I wanted to share the link for the tutorial I used to make it because she does a great job of showing how it's done, http://littlewindowshoppe.com/create-a-princess-tutu .
