So I am getting married soon and I am a DIY bride. I have some really nice bridesmaids that are helping me in my quest for a wonderful wedding. My latest project is felt flower bouquets for me and my five bridesmaids. I loved the felt flower bouquets that I was seeing online, and I thought, "Hey! I can do that!"
So, I found some old buttons...
And added new ones...
And cut out TONS of flowers...
And coerced my friend Stephanie into giving me free slave labor... (To be fair, we had fun. It's amazing how funny felt flowers can be at three in the morning)
And our two creative minds came up with this:
I'll keep you posted on how they end up finishing out with handles, but so far, I think that things are turning out to be just perfect. :)
Wow. I love, love, love your flowers. I think they'd be great for a wedding...as well as many other situations. Excellent idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on your upcoming wedding and your new blog!
