flower

I made mostly simple presents for my Sister

this Christmas,

so to fancy them up,

I made this beautiful flower to decorate her present.

I used silver raw silk and a stunning button,

both purchased at Joann's (small raw silk selection)

it coordinated perfectly with the ribbon and the paper (not on the picture!)

I followed this tutorial from A Girl In Paradise.

It was easy, fast and the flower is just beautiful.

Because I liked it so much,

I added some felt in the back

and stitched a brooch pin.

So not only did it make the present stand out before opening,

it is a great little brooch,

two uses, one beautiful flower!



Happy sewing!
