Daffodil Corsages - Just in Time for Easter

After making a handful of daffodil pins, I decided I wanted to try to make an actual corsage. Something more like the flowers we would buy our Mom and Grandmothers for Easter and Mother's Day.

To do so, the stem would need to be longer and I would need a bow. Luckily, my Mom taught me how to tie a florist bow ages ago. A little floral wire and...ta da!

Pattern by Melbangel.

I made a bunch of these. A whole crop!

And they'll be packaged like this:

Just like it came from a florist.

As is typical for me, no two are exactly alike.

Can you spot the tri-colored daffodil? Out of all the dozens of daffodils, it's the only one with 3 colors.

I've started listing these in my Etsy shop. More will be added every day this week. There's still plenty of time to get the flower before Easter.

Be sure to add the code NEWLOOK2012 for free domestic shipping. (International shoppers, contact me for a shipping discount!) The offer expires this week, so don't forget!!

Happy crafting!

Spring is in the air!

The daffodil pins are done & are now available in my Etsy shop!

Each of the pins pictured here is ready to ship. More are coming -- including a white & pink combo.

Let's revive the Easter & Mother's Day tradition of giving a corsage with one that will last forever!

A rose by any other name...

Flower pins! Just for fun, I made a bunch of these last year. I was practicing crochet-in-the-round and this seemed like a fun project. I can make them pretty quickly, so I made tons. Probably 50 or so pins. On a lark, I brought them to the craft fair. They sold like hot cakes! So I did what any smart person would do. I made more!

I have a whole crop of new flower pins listed in my Etsy shop. All kinds of colors -- some found in nature, some found in my imagination only. These pins are great on a purse, jacket or hat. A unique a fun gift, they're inexpensive enough to keep a few on hand for drop-in guests. They make terrific teacher or Secret Santa gifts. I'm not sure I'll have the time to make more this holiday season, so order early before they're gone!
