So I started messing with the scraps and figured out I could make a pretty cool looking flowers. I just scrunched them up this way and that sometimes twisting them a bit then I simply hand sewed starting on the back side right up the center.
I had first made these with some black silky material of which I still had a few odds and ends pieces so I decided to stich those to the back for a two tone look and added a bead.
Here's another pick of adding 2 scraps.
and a view of how the back of it looks so you can see just how odd shaped the scraps were.
Both of these flowers came from that one piece of scrap in the first picture :)
and here they are pictured with the black ones I had made.
Voila, I chose to clip mine to my headband that way I could remove them and mix and match as I'd like according to what I'm wearing. They also look good clipped in the center of my daughters plain bows to make a more decorative bow :)
Sorry the pictures were so blurry, hope you enjoy!
