I have been inspired by all the different fabric flowers growing in Blogland. So I decided to grow some myself . I bought this sweet little basket for a quarter a few years back at a garage sale. I thought it would be the perfect place to plant my blooms !
I simply gathered strips of burlap using a running stitch.Tacked it together with thread and attached vintage broken earrings for the centers. These were very quick to whip up!
My grandmother loved costume jewelry.I loved going through it as a kid and trying it on. I think she would approve of her broken & mismatched earrings becoming flowers.
Some I frayed along one side before gathering,just for a little something different !
