I think those 2 will just be decoration around the cake or the guest book.

I am trying to figure out flat ones to sew onto clutch purses as that is what the wedding party will carry, my daughter does not want flowers.

Perhaps yes I could take the petals individually and create an applique

Thank you Chonis. I am quite enjoying dabbling in making these. It's easy but tedious, takes about 2 hours to make one flower Gasp but it's worth it for my daughter she loved them

You're a wonderful mum! :-4

The flowers are gorgeous and making them will really put you into a 'weddingy' mood.

I've only ever done rug hooking, my god, that was boring and the cats were everywhere, now that I'm older, just no patience.

I will remind you...the wedding must come first.:-6

have you got mine done yet?:yh_rotfl

seriously, how many have you made so far Minks?

minks · Post by **minks** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:35 pm

4 flowers, 2 necklaces and 2 bracelets so far for wedding. The last 2 projects are not flowers but are for the wedding. It has taken me forever to settle on a design for the wedding party jewels :-5 I think i have it now. Not to mention I have been side tracked making "stock" to sell at an upcoming craft fair. :-5

Give me till summers end Odie, I can't see me getting to anything prior to that with this pending wedding coming up.

Is that like a pearl necklace?

No pearl necklace Nomad. The necklace's have pearl looking beads as do the flowers. Merely the color of the bead. Necklaces and bracelets are pearl and ruby colored beads like the flowers. I will post pics when I have a full set done.

Thanks Odie, I am not that stressed just could not decide on a style to pull together for the girls.

I know, and preparations for weddings do take a lot of planning.
