The flowers are punched from a collection of catalogues - Cath Kidston, Boden etc. Rather than just send them straight to the recycling after reading I like to get one more use out of them. I then run the flowers through my sticker machine - I have this one here - and then they are ready to be used. I've actually had them for a while and couldn't figure out how to use them so I had a play around with cards. The black border round the edge really adds something to them and by using a vintage button in the middle of each flower I am slowly starting to use up some of my buttons!More pics now!
Obviously the last ones don't have their buttons on but that will be sorted soon :) These will be for sale soon - once I've taken better photographs!
We were just discussing those xyron machines at the crafternoon today.... I might need one too!
ReplyDeleteI love them, what a brilliant use of recycling
ReplyDeleteOooooh, I like these a lot! Really clever and inventive too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, I'd love a Xyron machine. Hope your little poppet is soon better. Poor old Twiglet was proper poorly recently :(
