Do you remember those fabric flowers on my " to make, to do" list?  Turns out they weren't destined for me at all.  They were for my mother-in-law on Mother's Day!  I followed this tutorial with one tiny alteration.  And even though it took longer than I expected, I have to say I enjoyed the make!  This shabby chic color scheme and sweet style were absolutely perfect for my dear of a MIL.



Using non-fabric elements was a challenge for me here.   I needed straight, attractive sticks and had to use... the glue gun (dun dun daaa!).  Nothing was actually so hard, but it was one of those new experiences that take a bit of gumption.



Between the fabric dust and twig shavings and glue gun strings, we were a serious mess for while though.  Even pulled out the Go Baby cutter to cut tiny circles for my alteration.  I added a green circle underneath each blossom to hide the not-so-neat underneaths.  Looks more flower-like too!



My favorite part was shaping them all a bit different - this one wide open, this one in first bud.  Well, I kind of love how they came out, so here comes the deluge of photos...









If you're looking to make a small girly gift, I think this one is a winner.
