Getting crafty...
I love a cute and easy craft project and this one is both. I have loved the sweet flowers that have been so fashionable to wear over the last few seasons. I've looked at them in the shops, but not wanted to pay the crazy prices, so I own very few. However I recently found the easiest tutorial and decided to make my own. Simply cut poly-satin into decreasingly smaller circles, heat edges with a candle so that they curl, and then stitch together. How simple. The process of heating the poly-satin is also quite satisfying - be careful it doesn't burn if you fancy giving it a go. So what am I going to do with my little flower - well I could turn it into a broach? Maybe it would look cute on an alice band in my hair? Or maybe i'll attach it to a necklace? One thing is for sure I'm slightly addicted to how easy they were to make.

That is seriously cute!
I'll have to wait till I get home to try making one though, the fire detectors here are ever so sensitive so we're not allowed candles!
Oh, how fun! If you don't mind, I may pass this link along to a friend, as she is always looking for crafts to do with her girls. I just might try it, too. Thank you for sharing.
