Guess what?!?! I have a Hobby Lobby!! I have never been close to one, but now I am! Hurray!
Well, I went there recently and found a ton of fun things on clearance. Like, crazy low prices, clearance.
For example, I found a cute, plain, felted bag for $1.20. They had 4 of them, 2 in pink and 2 in turquoise. I couldn't pass that up. So now I have 4 little bags!
For the first one, I really wanted to add a fun flower to it. So I bought 6" of taffeta fabric and went to work.
First, I cut 6 circle, all slightly smaller then the last one.
Next, I took a lighter and singed the edges. This makes the fabric curl slightly.
Then I sewed the fabric flower layers together.
Then I sewed a button to the flower, and the entire flower to the bag!
Didn't it turn out so cute!
My daughter immediately confiscated this bag. She thought it was just the best bag ever! And I kind of agree...I might have to make myself one!
(You can also use this same flower making fabric to make a flower for a hair barrette! That would be adorable!)
I participate in the link parties found here.
