I have been wanting to learn how to make my own vintage looking organza flowers, so this weekend I did a quick search online and found this tutorial (I love the Internet).
I rushed up to the nearest Yardage town and grabbed up some organza in colors I thought the girls would enjoy.
Here is the recipe: a source of heat (candle), scissors, organza, beads, thread and needle.

This was my first attempt. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.
Looks pretty good as hair clip!
This was my attempt at making one half the size of the others.
My review:
This is a fun and easy craft that even you non-crafty ones can accomplish with success (watching the organza melt is mesmerizing).
I followed the tutorial for the first one and then tried some different techniques on the ones that followed.
With a little bit of practice and maybe some different material anyone (even you) can create some really cute vintage looking flowers.
I am going to be making them mainly as hair accessories, but you could use them on scrapbook pages, cards and on top of a present!
You can even adorn your poodle!

So cute! I'm not so crafty, so I like to live vicariously through others who are...like you!
I can't believe how cute those turned out! Completely adorable!
Wow! Beautiful AND crafty! : )
fantastic- I bet I could use these in my scrapbooks!
I love those! That would make a really neat necklace, too. I might have to try this sometime :)
oooh. I know some girls who would dig some flowers. Not to mention melting over a candle. Did you have any spontaneous combustion? :-)
later!
Beautifully done. I adore the turquoise one!
Wow, those are really cool.
I am quite impressed. I would have thought these were store bought!! They turned out lovely :)
How cool! I'm tempted to attempt, but I am afraid that it would be a disaster (but I still might try it).

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a note. Our boxer must think she is really the baby in the house! Silly dog! Blessings.
Those are so pretty! I would love to try it, but I have too many unfinished crafts as it is.
Very cool! I think my favorite is the white one. :) Pretty!
I love the one on the poodle...haha!
I am IN LOVE with that white! Beautiful!!!!!
Those are so cute! If I had little girls I would totally be putting those on a hairclip!
Gosh, they're great! I can't believe these were your first tries.
Nice work!! So pretty... your are a crafty woman, I wouldn't guess that this is your first time. I'm sure it's much better than what my first attempt would look like ;)
