Paper & Fabric Flowers, & Craft Fail

I have been on a roll lately making this cute little things.

I think this one is my favorite.  Instead of the constant circle shapes in the middle I did a square and a pin wheel.  I really like how it turned out.

This one is full of recycled materials.  The book page in the back of course, a pretty flower image that I cut out of an old magazine, another book page, a luffa I had laying around and some fabric from an old makeup bag.  I love the button I found in my SMALL stash.

I love the look of burlap but have none on hand.  I found a Starbucks advertisement in a magazine and the background looked like burlap!  I cut it out and used it for this paper flower.  LOVE! <3

This is the most colorful one of them all.

I was attempting to make a notebook cover following By Small Means directions.  I found this about a week ago and decided this would be the craft that we did at the Crafty Gathering for June.  I don't sew... much (or well) so I wanted to see if it was possible to do a no sew version.  I picked up the fusible stuff at Walmart today and some $1 fabric.  After 2 attempts so far, I'm not having much luck.  I'm not giving up yet though.  I'm learning a lot.  Needless to say I had a lot of wasted left over fabric that I just refused to let go to waste.  It was fabric that had been fused and was thick and it had my mind going.  All I could think of was flowers.  LOL!  What can I say I've got flowers of all kinds on my mind.  Here's what I did.

I also tie dyed some napkins tonight while making cup cakes so I add that into these fabric flowers for some extra texture.
