OK...you all know me! Yes, when I say I have a tad of OCD when it comes to these fabulous Vintage Fabric Flowers, I am speaking the truth. Every time I step foot in my studio now, which happens to be in my shop & may not be good for business, my hands can't grab fast enough for my scissors & fabric. I anxiously cut my strip of fabric, I cut out what could resemble a circle of card stock, plop a dollop of glue from the glue gun in the center & start to roll & wrap & glue...roll & wrap & glue...roll & wrap...you get my point, it's almost hypnotic!
But one good thing came out of my frenzied crafting, I decided to try & make a ring! Yes, a matching ring & even if I do say so myself...it's FABULOUS!!!
All the same principles apply as before. The circle base is only 2", the fabric 1 1/2" & no 2nd level is needed so these are REALLY easy! Any kind of ring base can be used, I used a light weight, flat, metal filigree that I then bent into a ring shape & I attached my flower with thin craft wire that I put through the vintage button, down through the flower, in & out of the filigree & then wrapped it up under the flower a couple of times to secure...easy peasy! Hope this gives you some more ideas for your flowers & as before...I will not be held responsible for any burnt dinners or wrinkled clothes due to craft related OCD's! lol

ReplyDeleteYou just had to show the most ADORABLE ring, didn't you. Fine. I will send my daughter to live with you for a while so I can make some.......
Tres chic! These are scrumptious! What is this dinner you speak of? And wrinkled? I'm hoping to start a new trend in fashion - the "yes, I'm still in my pajamas ensemble", part of the febreezed family collection. And, you ARE a little responsible . . .
ReplyDeleteHey, love, love, love the postcard below too. Yummy work, just as pretty as can be.
Wow, these are wonderfull!!
ReplyDeleteAllready getting some ideas! Thanks!
Hi Susie,
ReplyDeleteLet me just say those flowers a fab!!!
Love them!!
Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my new post. I would consider a tutorial on the supplies and what I did to the silverware.
Maybe on my next post I will list them.
I pretty much knew nothing about it, so believe me I'm still learning.
Chat with you again soon,
Rosemary
These just bowled me over... soooo Chanel !
ReplyDeleteThank you
These are gorgeous! Love your wonderful blog and look forward to following your adventures. Thank you for your kind words at my blog today! Made me smile. ~ Angela
ReplyDeleteLove these, Susie. I keep reading your instructions and they sound so easy...but I have this block and I think they can't be that easy and I can't do them! They would be great for my upcoming women's retreat. I have another flower that is not half as cute!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is terrific. I am a scrounger, too!!! I came by way of Lynn's house!
