A few weeks ago, I decided to wander through Dear Lizzie, a small boutique near my home, to look for Handmade Christmas gift ideas.

Right as I walked in the door, I spotted the perfect project.  It was a darling fabric flower pin, and I knew it would be easy to make at home.  It’s a perfect gift for a friend, mother, sister, or even a teacher.  The flowers at Dear Lizzie sold for about $15 dollars, but it cost me less than a dollar to make these.  And it was a quick project that took me less than half an hour.

Here’s what you need for the project:

• A small amount of fabric- scraps of fabric from a past project are perfect!
• Light weight iron-on adhesive like Heat n Bond or Wonder Under
• Wool Felt- just a small amount.  Again scraps from another project work great.
• Buttons, large crystal beads, lace, tulle or any other embellishment you love.
• A hair clip or a pin

I uploaded a step by step tutorial with photos here.

Have fun!
