I kind of forgot how soon Artfest was . So part two will have to wait till I'm home . I have been making trades and getting ready like crazy. This year I decided to make singed fabric flower hair clips and brooches as trades . Here's what i've finished so far.
How were these made ? they're super easy !
What you need :
Sheer melt-able fabric things like organza,crepe,polyester . Mine are made from organza and organdy
Pare template of circles in various sizes
and candle
needle and thread
beads ans sequins .
Cut the fabric and then carefully burn the edges with a candle . Be quick or the circle will catch on fire! Melting the edges will cause the piece to no longer fray and it'll curl up !
Stack your singed fabric in any way you like . i went from largest to smallest
I then tacked the ting together with a stitch or two and the embellished with sequins and beads but you always sew on a button or glue a rhinestone .
I then backed each flower with felt and attached a bobby pin . TADA pretty spring flower accessory .
Part two of the simple tin jewelry should be up as soon as I'm home .
I love these! I'm amazed by all your creative interests!
