Last Night's Craftiness - Flower Pins 3



These pins are so affordable and easy to craft, my mind is now going wild considering all the possibilities!

Consider
gluing a few of the leaves to the back of the flower as well (as I did with the red one below). Remember odd numbers are more visually interesting so 1,3,5 leave or clusters per flower. Whatever you do, don't discard the leaves, stash them for another project.

Consider
making pins to dress up gift bags. Just in time for Easter, Mother's Day and summer weddings!

Consider wearing 3 flowers clustered together for a bigger statement.

Consider gluing smaller flowers on barrettes or shoe clips (also sold in the jewelry-making section of the craft store). Your ballet flats will be instantly transformed.

Consider pinning multiple flowers all over decorative throw pillows. You could neatly cover the entire pillow. You could sew, pin, or tie a contrasting fabric around the center of the pillow and add flowers centered on the fabric.

Consider pinning to the tops of tab top curtains for a cheery update to your kitchen or bathroom curtains.

Consider pinning randomly to your shower curtain.

Consider pinning them to ribbon for updated curtain tie-backs.

Consider
the possibilities for a little girl's room!

Consider pinning a few on your canvas shopping tote.

Consider gluing ribbons to the back of the flower before adding the pin back for added oomph.

Consider carefully covering the edges of the petals in a thin line of white craft glue and dusting glitter over the edges.

Consider
beautiful black or brown flowers tipped in silver or gold glitter for an evening look. Pin them onto your little evening clutch.

Consider pinning one to the bows/ties on the back of your dining chair covers.

Like a cleaner, more modern aesthetic? Use simple flowers in bold colors sparingly.

Shabby chic? Go crazy with creamy whites, and all shades of pink and peach in large full blooms.

Consider sunflowers for autumn and poinsettias for winter holidays.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
