Flowers Anytime!

Click here for craft instructions
My inner craft diva has reared her head and insisted that I share this idea! While trolling some of my favorite craft blogs, I stumbled across these fabric flowers and my brain cells lit up like fireworks! So many things you can do with these wonderful little blooms... Here are some of my initial thoughts.

Add a Pin...
Simply add a safety pin, or even a bobby pin, to the back of a flower and you have a whimsical accessory for your outfit. The really fun part is that with so many fabric selections available, you can make your own garden of these flowers to coordinate with any style and/or color scheme in your closet.

Craft Accents...
It also occurred to me that since these are a handmade item with the luxury of personalization, you could create a variety of flowers in varied sizes. My initial idea was to then add these flowers to an throw pillow for some three-dimensional accents. 

Book Worms...
I have noticed a recent rally of book reading among my friends and thought it might be fun to attach one of these flowers to a bookmark to create a truly girlish highlight and combat those nerdy stereotypes!

As more floral thoughts pop into my brain, I will be sure to add them to the list. Feel free to share your ideas, too!
