The American Crafts blog posted this pretty spring bouquet idea to brighten up your home. It would also be great for shower (baby, bridal) decorations (use bouquets for table decorations, and one flower for cupcake toppers!) or a gift Mother's Day. You could omit the skewers and turn these pretty blooms into a fun gift brooch, too. I would skip the soda can display and opt for a pretty drinking glass or teacup. [project here via hostess blog]
The project uses premade die-cut felt flowers, but you can easily cut your own felt flowers. Put some rice or sand (or floral foam) in the cup for easy arranging.
Project Estimate:
- Felt, $.25 a sheet or on hand
- Buttons, $1 or on hand
- Bamboo skewers, $1
- Ribbon, $1 or on hand
- Thread, on hand
- Vase, tea cup, or drinking glass, on hand or $1
- Floral foam, rice, or sand, on hand or $1
Total cost: $1 and up

great idea!
Sorry for the cut and paste, but:
Thanks for playing Make Something Cool Everyday in April! I had a great time and met some cool new friends, hope you did too! Please come read this. I’m planning to do a wrap up.
Thanks!

oh, and since you were one of the “organizers”/charter members of MSCE, would you post a link to that so that if anyone was playing from your blog, but didn’t register on the list, they see it?
From the title, I thought at first that all the stems were springy. Which would have made these a lot more awesome, although they are pretty neat already.
Yeah, that would be super-awesome! We should do it!
what a cute idea!
Used spiral notebooks are a great source for springy stems.
really nice idea…
What an awesome project. Those are really cheerful!
