Interchangeable Flower Belt

When I was in New Jersey over the summer, my sister and I created an interchangeable flower belt.

Here are the materials we used:


* one piece of felt
* scissors
* glue gun
* fake flowers
* one ribbon belt (super easy tutorial here)

Step 1: Cut the flowers off of the stems.

If you run into a flower like this where the tip of the stem is very 3D, then follow these simple steps:

Step 2: Use your glue gun to glue one piece of felt to the back of the flower, then another piece of felt over top for the belt to slide through:



Step 3: Once you've finished creating all the interchangeable flower parts, slip one onto your belt:


Step 4: Model for the camera!!


PS: Isn't my sister beautiful?

    That's a great idea! I was thinking the same thing as Beth - you could make fabric flowers and yo-yos and do the same thing. :)
