Is it Spring yet!?

I'm getting a little twitchy.  I'm ready for warmer weather, trips to the park and picnic lunches with my little punky.  So to tide me over I've been making these scrummy little burlap flowers. 




Is it rude to say that I think they are really CUTE?  I think that if I saw these in a store I would buy them.  I think that's a good sign.  And they were really easy.  Seriously...really easy. 


1.  Find a twig or stick the length you desire.  Make sure it is thick enough to hold the flower (remember the flower will be heavier once you add hot glue).

2.  Take scraps of burlap and cut out rough circles in varying sizes.


3.  Glue the circles together and then glue a button on top.



4.  Cut out a piece of felt in a similar color.

5.  Place hot glue all over the felt then center the twig in the glue. 


6.  Place the burlap flower over the top of the felt.


Ta Da....a cute little burlap flower.  I can't think of a sweeter way to use up your scraps.

Beware:  THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!  See evidence below.

    Definitely CUTE!!! And I can see how these would be addictive, each one is different. I can just see them in pastels for Easter. And the flower pots are darling. Thanks for sharing this creative little idea.

    These are just perfect! I love the contrast of a "rough" fabric like burlap transformed into something so delicate like a flower. Thanks for linking up! If you didn't leave a comment, and want to be eligible for the giveaway, come back and leave one :)

    OH these are too cute. I love the burlap ... I think that I have some course linen in my sewing bin that will give a similar effect. Have to give it a try ... my daughter has some groovy glass pop bottles in her room waiting for some flowers! I'm sure that she can make them with me.
