I made these flowers using fabric-covered buttons purchased from J. Caroline Creative and Prima Paper Flowers and felt flowers from Making Memories. These are simple and affordable to make and really have a lot of impact in my projects. I use them on my handmade cards, as push pins for my cork board (with a tack added of course), and as adornments for lots of my sewing projects. I like to find ways to combine my fabric stash with some of my scrapbooking embellies. It's fun and I get to play with items from both hobbies at the same time!

LollyChops writes: Hi 4RS! I do not have to stiffen the felt. I use all kinds of felt (seriously). I have found that pretty much any felt will work (you do need to use felt glue though) or nothing will stick to it.

Yes I do have a blog..
