Trashy Flowers

funny story.
I was in Hobby Lobby recently and they were sweeping the floor around the floral area.
There were several flowers in the trash pile, and yes, I scooped them up!
I took them to the register, found my favorite cashier who looks like my sister-in-law's mother, explained that I did not take them from the floor in the floral area or off the flowers and begged to take them home with me! She smiled, put them in the bag and I took them home!

So, the lovely silk flowers that will soon be adorning my daughters' hair? Yeah, they're from the trash pile.

So, thanks to you I have been making felt flowers for the past 3 days! :) I think I have made at least 50, if not more. It's kind of sick. :) I have a question for you, are you using alligator clips for the three flower ones? I used three flowers on a headband, but haven't tried the clip yet. These are going to make such cute Christmas gifts for Kaitlyn's friends. Thank you so much for sparking this new little hobby. I will post some pics soon. :)

yay! so glad it's working for you! i attached these to alligator clips, you can see the nubs sticking out on the sides in the pics. it worked well but this size would have worked better on a headband. smaller would work better on a clip, in my opinion!
