Oooo....I found *something* to do with my time....

I love to "pounce" on etsy. It's one of my favorite past-times. Last night I found exactly what I want to make for mom's birthday. Should be easy enough - right? Famous last words!!

Here are fabric leaf stems:


Looks easy. I need some florist wire, brown floral tape, brown sewing machine thread, pinking shears, interface, & fabric. Well, that & a vase. The plan is to twist the floral wire together to make the "right" height of the stems. Wrap in floral tape. Then clip floral wire varying lengths for the stems. Wrap in floral tape. Then I need to figure out interface (not sure if I need to iron it one or if it's just a layer between fabrics. Then I'll need to stitch the leaves and use pinking shears to cut them out. Finally place the wrapped stem on the leaf & use the sewing machine to stitch them together. Then attach the stems to the main stem using floral wire & viola. Should be easy peasy. I'll bet mom will be impressed!!
We'll see.

I promise I'll post pics of MY finished product - gotta get on it as her birthday is June 1st. I also need to find the perfect vase for them. I also could finish some pillows for mom's bed. Can't wait to see what I can do!!
