I saw a similar idea at Anthropologie and JCrew and decided I'd try to make one. Once I got it done I've never had a chance to use it, I've tried it numerous ways but nothing looks quite right!
It is a simple project: Purchase 2 flowers with multi sized layers of petals. Divide up into 1 lg, 2 med, and 2 small. Glue to ribbon at appropriate spacing. Add buttons or beads as centers. (This could also be sewed together by hand.) I may try another one with different colors of flowers bunched in the center...but first I need to know....
Do you think it looks better as a sash or a neck piece? And does it look like something a bridesmaid would wear?! I love the vintage looking flower accents seen in fashion now, as headbands, hairpieces and pins, but it might not be a good look for someone my age:) Let me know what you think!
