Handmade Gifts

This year, I have a little list of handmade gifts that I want to get done for Christmas. The first up are these fabric flowers that I wanted to give to my Laurel girls as part of a lesson.


I made them into brooches, but you could also put a hair clip on it if that is more your style. I was inspired by these flowers for emersonmade, followed this tutorial, and came up with this. I made several different colors, but this yellow one is the only one left (as I have already given the flowers away).


It is a nice hand-sewn craft that you can do in the evenings while watching TV. One of them takes me about an hour to finish.

That is super cute Brooke! I love the little beading in the center. I'm so loving all of these feminine flowers. I wear one almost every day and I love the way it pulls an outfit together.

Great job!

Did your Laurels like the flowers? They are really cute! They add a nice touch.

Do they fray? I'm alwasy curious how the raw edged flowers hold up after a while. They look beautiful though.
