IF you live local, my friend Christi has a booth at local Hermann’s Furniture Store located in downtown Brenham, Texas, her booth is near the back of the antique mall section of the large store…Christi is the friend that I have been making the book page items with..she has great taste and once had a store in Del Rio, she is literally a treasure trove..i mention an item, like the skates on my front door wreath or my new/old doctor stool and voila she has them in her shed or booth..so you dont want to miss shopping her wares. She made these flowers for her booth and they are only $12..get to Brenham as fast as you can!
Some of the flowers are felt and some are made from old men’s ties..so clever and colorful..i love the display!
And if you have never even heard of Brenham, Texas, and don’t live in the area..jump over to Jones Design Company for this EASY tutorial. I finally made one with Christi’s urging and it really is easy..and you can get great looking grey felt at the HL..super easy..i wish i had made these for teacher and teen gifts..still might make a few for fun!
And if you don’t want to go out and buy felt you can do this with regular fabric too…a small scale print or plain flax linen would work great..have fun!
I am so in love with these flowers and made a bunch for my dd to give to her little friends at school. MUST make more!!!
I wish I could run right over to Brenham and pick me up a bunch of these. I love em! My crafty gene has been in hibernation for a really long time but maybe I can try these after the new year. Thanks!
so cute—I need so many last minute gifts!!
Okay, what about we poor souls who aren’t local!!! Egads! I NEED a few of these for gifts for sure! How can we get in touch with her….please. 🙂
I finally got around to making some, too for last minute little gifts. I found that thin materials like t-shirt material make a flower that looks like a rose that has already passed it’s prime. Like the petals are just about to fall off, in a pretty way. And the other day, while browsing through Goodwill, I found some corduroy remnants that worked great for flowers. They were really stiff and would work beautifully with fall wardrobes.
Hadn’t thought of ties. Great idea!
Well, don’t come to Cincinnati anytime soon…half the city will be sporting flower pins made by me thanks to Emily! I made sooo many, I have glue gun burns to show for it. 🙂 Just borrowed a pic from your book page flowers for my post. Hope that’s ok!! I’m about to try my hand at them!! xo, T
I live in Chapel Hill but would love to order some of these. Do you know if that’s possible? Thanks so much!
These are beautiful, I can’t wait to make some with my girls!
I knocked out 4 of these in a half hour last week! Thanks so much for the link to the tutorial! I had an old sweater that I had felted just laying around wanting to be turned into something cute. They were a hit at Christmas time!
