I was thinking about making stamen. I bought these long silver pins with blunt points that are supposed to be used for jewelry making. Then I threaded a pearly bead, followed by a clear earring back. The wire bends easily enough, so for attachment, I was planning to poke the pin into the fabric, make a loop, and add a few stitches.

this is really cute! I am making one out of notebook paper for practice (and beacuse I don't have any scrap material at work) and it's looking pretty good for my first one!
