Hello Everyone! I am back this week with an MIY and a special giveaway!

I received lots of comments on my post lat week and wanted to share with you on how to make your own gorgeous flower brooch.

1. Gather your tools.
What you need...

2. Cut out circles of varying sizes from your organza. They don’t have to be perfect. They can be as big or as small as you want your flower to be. I always cut a few more than what I think I will need, just in case.
Step One

3. Once your circles are cut out. Hold the edges of each one over the flame. This will cause them to curl and crinkle in on themselves.
Step Two

4. Once done, your petals should look like this.
Step Three

5. Next you want to layer your petals. There is no science behind this, just layer them as they appeal to you. I actually ended up not using two of the petals that I had made.
Step Four

6. Once you have the petals layered, carefully pick them up so you can start the beading.
Step Five

7. Keep beading. Again, just bead until you are satisfied with the way it looks.
Step Six

8. Once you are done beading the center of your flower, flip it over and sew on the pin.
Step Seven

9. And there you have it. Your flower pin is now ready to wear!
Finished PIn
