My friend and I went to a local craft fair this weekend. It was fun to just spend some time together but I think we both would agree that it was a bit to "crafty" for us. We kept laughing that they need crafters who are members of Pinterest. Of course, we did see some cute things but it was a bit pricey.
We both quickly migrated to a booth who had cute fabric flower pins. Whispering quietly, we both agreed that we could do this! Of course, it's just finding the "time" to do it. Tonight, I sat down and fooled around with some felt and buttons and a needle. I cut out the felt and just piled it with different sizes. I think I will use some other fabrics and maybe some ribbon too {it would have a more dramatic look} on the next one.
I think these would make such fun Christmas gifts! You just need a needle, felt (different colors), fun buttons and a little bit of creativity. After you have piled the different sizes of felt up...you sew on a button. I did make a small backing for the back to cover up my thread!
My daughter was very willing to "model" the pin and was hoping it would be hers.
I think it does look cute on her white jacket. I just put it in a bag with lots of ribbon and it's super cute and ready to be given!

Great job on the flower! We were at a craft fair this weekend at a local Waldorf school here and there were beautiful crafts. I always think I could make some it myself, too, then I get home and forget and never try :) good for you for following through!
