I have recently taken up sewing and have TONS of scrap fabric. So I decided to make these flower pins. They're good to wear or to pin on tote bags, etc.

I made one of those, and they really add a nice touch of "flare" to my bag.

Thank you! I've been looking for something just like this to do with all of my scrap fabric. And there's so much you can do with these little flowers too :)

A great waste-not, want-not craft! Could also glue to a headband. Sew to a hair tieback. Use to decorate a gift bag or package. Put on a dowel for a lawn flower (out of sun/rain. Also could make other varieties. Very nice! Thank you for sharing.

These are incredible! I've been brainstorming ways to use old vintage fabric, but failing in comparison to this cute idea! On the black one, did you just glue the beads on?

Yup! I just put a dab of hot glue in the center and sprinkled the beads on.
