More Flowers

Along with a Scarf obsession I also have been on a flower kick.

We had the annual Winegar Girls Craft Day over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Rachel and I made these super easy satin flowers that you see everywhere and have probably made yourselves.

I started out by cutting out circles on my cricut ranging in sizes from 5" down to 1"

I traced them onto the satin which I bought at Hobby Lobby for .75 for 1/4 of a yard. I cut out my circles and singed the edges with a candle. Glued them together and glued a simple bead in the middle.

I then glued a pin clasp on one and hair clips on the others!

EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY!



No Sew Flowers

So I was called to teach primary in my ward, and I needed a primary bag. Problem is I don't have money to go buy a new one and I don't have the patience right now to make one. So I started digging through my office closet and I came up with this levi bag with a pocket on front, my mother-in-law gave it to me last year and I have never used it.  So I thought great this will be perfect but it needed COLOR so I had seen a girl at the store with this really cute head band and I thought why not make that bigger and a pin and stick it on this bag!

This was super simple, I found round object that in the size that I wanted and traced them onto fabric, six circles each then cut them out. I cut out a small piece of felt and  got out the glue gun. All I did was fold each circle in to 1/4 and stuck a dot of glue in the middle to hold them together, and then i just arranged them on the felt and glued down in layers, in this picture I just rolled up some scrap fabric and stuck it in the middle, and to finish off I just glued on a jewelry pin I which I bought at the craft store for .75 and it came with five, the rest was free because it was all scrap fabric!

I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving, I know we will!

Fabric Head Band with flower

 I saw these head bands at a local farmers market and decided I could

I could make them my self instead of spending the money on them and it was

super easy!

Step #1 fold fabric in half, for this I used and 18" long piece

you want it to be 3" in the middle and taper to 1" at the base.

Step #2 Sew a stay stitch at 1/4" I use a #4 stitch on my sewing machine

which is the longest I can make my stitch.

Step #3 Do the same with a smaller piece of contrasting fabric.

Truthfully I just measured the smaller piece until I liked the look of it.

Pin on and repeat step #2.

Step #4 I cut down fabric and sewed along just so it would stay together.

I then just rolled it up and put a dot of hot glue every few inches.

Step #5 I attached ribbon to the bottom to come underneath my hair and tie,

again I just measured until I had the size I wanted. I then just glued on my flower.

This project cost me nothing because it all came out of scrap fabric!
