Chiffon Flowers .... still....

No, those are not my feet!
I wish!
Daughter came out this weekend and we made navy chiffon flowers and sewed them on white flip-flops for the bridesmaids. My daughter loved fire (candles) as a child and this hasn't changed one bit. I knew she'd love this craft!
Remember I showed you how to do these here! Just sewed them on cheap ones for the girls. The bride has them on her "better" flip-flops for the wedding now, too!
You should make some and show me!
More wedding stuff to come!

Chiffon

Ya wanna do a "make and take"?
That's what BFF Virginia said to me yesterday.
Her niece, Kami Dorr of Oklahoma City, showed her
how to do these last week!
We love them!
I had done this with tulle....
It's a different look and OH SO flammable!
You need to gather a tealight candle,
a small bowl of water in case you have a flame
and
a piece of aloe vera for when you burn yourself....
I only burned myself doing the tulle...
which I'm not showing here.
JUST go buy some chiffon...that's what these are.
Cut circles out of the chiffon.... do it freehand, do not draw them.
JUST do as I say.... keep it simple....
You can cut them different sizes.
The chiffon slightly heated is very forgiving
of shapes you've cut...
Hold it above the flame and quickly move it
to singe the edge. You can also lightly
heat the bottom of the petal to make it
curl more.
You can make french knots in the middle or sew seed beads! Wouldn't these be great on a shoe!!!! Or in your hair or on your blouse!!!! Or on a sachet or a belt! Let me know what you do!
