Fabric scraps and Flowers!


Well since we have been snowed in all weekend, I was bored and could not drive to the store to buy stuff to craft with... so I had to work with what I had at hand :) Firstly, here are a few small projects I did with scraps of a pink paisley satin leftover from a project. I used a babyfood jar to make a button jar, then made a flower using the tutorial found here.


I used the flower as a corsage pin to dress up a top I found at a thrift shop:





Then I glued fabric to a thick piece of cardboard and decorated some clothespins to make a mini project board using this tutorial. Hers looks way better than mine, but hey, she was using a real wood board and jumbo clothespins. Mine was free.







Next I made some flowers to put on the squirt's hats that I had crocheted last weekend. I did this by attaching pins to the back of silk flowers, and by making flowers from scraps of fabric.

For the pink button flower, see this tutorial.
















I think the squirt likes her new hats!
