I am pretending it is spring, now. In March, we will gain 1 hour and 18 minutes of daylight. Yay!!! On vacation, I took several pictures of all the flower accessories displayed in various boutiques. My DIY hack brain was going crazy with ideas. Here are some pics I took, followed by a list of great tutorials on crafting the flowers you could use to make your own accessories.
Aren’t these so fun?! I love the idea of displaying a gorgeous flower on a thin headband, and the monograms at the center in the bottom pic are adorable. Lets pretend winter is over, and flower things up a bit.
Now for the tutorials:
*I couldn’t do this without thinking of the recent lotus flower tutorial guest post by Hani. Perfect for accessorizing!
*Tip Junkie has a wonderful gathering of fabric flower tutorials, here.
*Another round up of fabric flower tutorials, plus on of their own at Little Birdie Secrets, here.
*Made has a host of beautiful tutorials in this round up post.
That ought to keep us busy while we wait for the weather to catch up! If you have a favorite fabric flower tutorial, let me know and I will add it to the list!
