The idea is that they become a small posy for my young bridesmaids to carry at my wedding. They are only little (the youngest will be coming up to 20 months) and it doesn't seem fair to give them fresh flowers to carry and then have them spend the afternoon being told to be careful! I wanted to give them something that they can fiddle with, can hold any which-way and can drop without doing any harm. They can also have them afterwards as a little keepsake.
I have now added a stem and additional leaves to my rose. The fabric I went for in the end is a raw silk and I have added tiny beads to the rose centre for a little bit of sparkle.
I shall share pictures with you again when I have completed the posies - this could take some time! Cx

Oh they are gorgeous Claire...well done you for persevering!
What did you make the stem with for it to be stiff enough to hold?
They are ideal for littlies...

Thanks Karen!
I made the stem with a pipe cleaner so it is stiff enough to hold but doesn't have and sharp ends that may poke through.

What a lovely idea and they are really nice. Love the sparkle you added to - you can never have too much sparkle :-)
These are sweet - I too am in wedding mode at the moment. It's good fun isn't it!
