Flocked Flower Accent Pin

Apr 26, 2011

Ok I do have to admit… even though I love win­ter and the cold weather that comes along with it I do love Spring and Sum­mer and all the col­ors. The heat I can do with­out but the col­ors I really do enjoy. This flocked flower accent pin is just a lit­tle some­thing that can brighten up a neck­lace by attach­ing it to the side of a chain, or accent­ing a sim­ple cuff bracelet by pin­ning it to a piece of lace or trim and tying it around your wrist. This lit­tle piece has so many won­der­ful possibilities.

Sup­plies Used: White Flocked Flower Bunch (Vin­tage Street Mar­ket), Copic Marker — YR31 Light Red­dish Yel­low, Dia­mond Stick­les, Cream Felt, Brown and White Baker’s Twine, Cream Self Adhe­sive 2mm Pearl, Fab­ric Tac, Pin Back

Tools Needed: Scis­sors, Stylus

Instruc­tions:

1. Remove one small bunch of flocked flow­ers from the larger bunch. The small bunch will have 5 flocked flowers.
2. Using a Copic Marker color all the white areas of the flocked flower bunch.
3. Accent the edges of each flower and cen­ter using Dia­mond Stick­les, let dry.
4. Using scis­sors cut three small leaves out of cream felt.
5. Using Fabri Tac attach the leaves to the base of the thick base not the wire base. Let dry.  Make sure when you are attach­ing the leaves that you over lap the leaves a bit.
6. Wrap the wire end around the metal part of a sty­lus to curl the wire.
7. Tie a bow out of brown and white baker’s twine and attach to the base of the leaves using Fab­ric Tac.
8. Accent the cen­ter of the bow with a self adhe­sive pearl.
9. Attach a pin back to the back of the flocked flower accent.

The cute lace piece that I placed the pin on is a lit­tle some­thing mom brought up to me to use in my blog pho­tos. You will be see­ing this piece quite often. The color is gor­geous, the size is per­fect and the design well it’s exquis­ite. Thanks again, Mom!
