Fun Fabric Flowers



The weather in PA is so temperamental. Yesterday was like a warm Spring day or a cool Summer afternoon and today is bleary. Looking around the house it seems to change moods per day with the amount of sunlight that shines in through the windows. Direct sunlight allows for fresh flowers to be brought inside, but indirect sunlight can me a silent killer to the lovely color we try to ad to our homes.

What is a remedy to brighten our home despite the weather? ffflowers.etsy.com has created an amazing, cheerful, affordable & unique idea as an alternative to living flowers & silk. These are the perfect flowers to brighten up any corner - great for hay fever sufferers, they are guaranteed never to need watering and will not wilt or drop petals all over the place!

the flowers are made on a vintage flower loom using beautiful ribbon yarns. Each flower has a different button center and is securely stitched to a green fabric wrapped stem. The stem is quite flexible and can be bent or even wrapped around something. The weight of the flower head gives the stem a natural curve when they are displayed in a vase. The flowers are 3" (8cm) across and the stems are 10" (25cm) long (measurements are approximate).

Some fabulous examples:











Cheers!

A simple brooch can make all the difference



Sometimes all you need to spic up an outfit is a little color. Brooches are wonderful ways to change a look from casual to business to evening to morning. Spring is here and these lightweight beauties spice up spring jackets, blazers, belt loops, purses, even t-shirts. Affordable enough to own a few - experiment! Compliments will be a common occurrence.

The above brooch by artisan thejunebride.etsy.com is a wonderful way to enter spring with color! This reclaimed wool brooch measures approximately 3.25”-3.75” across and features a convenient easy open-and-close hinged pin on the back for safety and security.



Next are the felted brooches by artisan LISAandLUCY.etsy.com These pieces have been wet felted and left to dry so the ends of the flower curl over creating a more realistic effect. Various glass beads on wire create three stamens that can be bent however you choose. The flower and stem measure 4" tall and 3 1/2" at the wide area.



This adorable brooch by artisan nancyknitsandstuff.etsy.com is a unique approach to a floral brooch! A bird brooch made with a miniature green hued bird and vintage and new millinery pieces. The bird is perched on top of a button and items are wrapped and tied with a silk ribbon. Some glue for extra security. Millinery pieces include velvet leaves, flowers and a spun cotton mushroom.

Happy decorating your spring wardrobe!
