fabric flower sash

Right now, I have NO MONEY for new clothes. Paying off debt and trying to keep what we have is preventing me from having much needed shopping money. This means I have to spice up the clothes I have so I don’t feel like I’m wearing the same old things.

So when I saw this beautiful flower sash by The Pleated Poppy I knew I had to try it for myself.

So here’s my version:

I picked up 5 coordinating fat quarters from Walmart for $1.25 each.  I used buttons and black felt from my own stash. Oh and hot glue. I was a hot {glue} mess this weekend!

 

I cut out all the fabrics in various sized circles and then just started making flowers: big, small, scrunchy, layered. When I figured it was enough I laid it out and decided where I wanted each piece. Contemplating what color was missing on this end and if that flower needed a button center.

I was quite pleased so I cut a strip of black felt and began hot gluing each flower piece to it.

Then I flipped it over and secured a few of the corners and edges and snipped away any flet that was exposed.

Since there are at least 2 items I currently plan to wear this with, I decided to add hair clips to the back so I can easily attach and detach it from this sash or any other belt.
