Hair accessories: FABRIC FLOWER BROOCH


Gosh, what a blogging marathon I seem to be having today! But I just made this as a little extra xmas pressie for a special friend (I am not saying who, that would ruin the surprise!), and I thought I'd share how easy they are to make.



What you need: Two fabric circles, one big and one small. (I used a cereal bowl as a template for the bigger one and a large mug for the smaller, but you could make them as big or small as you like.) • needle and thread • button • some ribbon • a safety pin.

1. Sew basting stitches all around the edge of the circle, and pull tight. Flatten. Repeat for the 2nd circle.
2. Place the smaller circle on top of the larger one and secure in place with a few stitches.
3. Fold some ribbon to look like leaves, and stitch it to the back of the brooch.
4. Stitch a button in the middle at the front and add a safety pin to the back.

Crarfty jewelry: chain and thread.





So I was browsing some high end designer jewelry a while back, and though I never buy designer things, it's sometimes interesting to look through such items. I came across this bracelet that i thought was really cute...except it was $385!
