Just got a little sidetracked from my previous post about making silk roses for a bride. I made these on the weekend for a headpiece for a georgous girl going to the St Patrick's Race Day.
These are dog roses and are dead easy to make. I really like these flowers as they sit quite flat - sometime you need a flatter flower.
Just to make sure you understand - both these will not be on the same hat. The green silk flowers are for the fascinator and the other one is made from cotton. I always think it is so amazing that changing the fabric can change the whole look.
I have sold these dog roses with a little attachment at the back so you can thread it through a headband, use as a brooch or use on a thin belt or ribbon around the waist.
where can one find instruction and proper tools for making silk flowers? I have searched everywhere and the only book I could find was written 20 years ago by someone named Biddle and has some good info but not enough.
ReplyDeleteHello - I am not sure where you are in the world but Torb and Reiner (Melbourne, Australia) sells tools, instructions and dvds.
