Make Spring Flowers with Fabric Scraps

"Spring has sprung! Here in the UK the weather has been really quite lovely and spring flowers are out in full force. Today I’m joining the Spring Flowers Craft Blog Hop with some fellow creative bloggers to bring you a collection of crafts with a spring flowers theme.

I’ve made some pretty fabric flowers in spring colours. These flowers can be made in any colours and with pretty much any fabric so they are a fun way to use small scraps of fabric and buttons. I’ve made 2 different types of flowers, both are really simple and quick. You can use them for all sorts of thing. I sewed mine to a simple bag made from old tea towels but you could add a safety pin to make a brooch or sew one to a hair clip or hair band. You could even use them as a greeting card topper or sew them to a cushion or pillow cover." Comment from Julie of Sum of Their Stories.com

So many options for these flowers! I have always loved making fabric flowers out of fabric scraps. OMG the crafters who make junk journals would love these for the covers of their journals.
