Looking for a flower embellishment but tired of the same old flower patterns? Well look no further, this simple flower has a fun twist. You can put it on a pin and use it to dress up a scarf or coat, add it to a hat or headband – have fun with it! Hint: stay tuned for a project I’ll be releasing soon that uses this flower too! ~Maria~
