Spring Flowers from GlueArts

There's something magical about spring and the flowers coming back to life.

Green everywhere, trees in bloom...today GlueArts has two beautiful ideas for how to put a little bloom into your life!

Designer Patti Milazzo has a sweet smelling cachet with our Adhesive Squares. The cachet is perfect for this time of the year...but think teacher gifts and yes...Mother's Day too!

Designer Andrea Budjack has made a beauty as well! A beautiful floral gift bag that you too could fill with all sorts of goodies for someone special! Consider making another flower for a pin, hair clip or several for a cardigan and more!

 Fabric Flower Sachet 

GlueArts Designer: Patti Milazzo

Supply List: 

Glue Arts- 

Extreme Adhesive Squares

Extreme Micro Adhesive Squares

Other: fabric scraps, buttons, thread

Instructions:

Quite awhile ago, I created this simple fabric button pouch for a project idea. I ended up going a different way with the design but decided to keep this little sachet pocket since it turned out well enough. As an afterthought I decided to dress it up with fabric flowers and leaves as well as a few buttons by simply using Extreme Adhesive Squares.

The flowers and leaves are circles and ovals that have a gathering stitch to create their shape. Each petal is done individually. Then I used both the regular sized Extreme Adhesive Squares and Extreme Micro Adhesive Squares to assemble them together. I also used them to adhere the buttons to the center of the flowers and around the arrangement. 

I’ll fill the pocket with another lighter weight fabric filled with lavender and this sachet is ready to tuck into a drawer or closet.
