Dream Valley Challenges: Make Your Own Flowers/Embellishments

By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) I am here with my DT project for Dream Valley Challenges where we would like to see you make your own embellishments. I chose to make a flower brooch with felt, seed beads and the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die. I cut multiple layers of the flower and starched them to stiffen them. I then sewed them together with seed beads as my centre. Lastly I glued on a brooch to the back. 

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)

    What a gorgeous bright sunshine yellow flower! This would look lovely as a centre piece on a paper craft item, or as an embellishment on a bag or as a broach!

    Hugs Lisa xxxx

Home Decor Project-Beaded Curtain Tie Backs

By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) I am here with my favourite home decor make in a while. My father made me a four poster bed as he had some spare wood and I have always wanted one! So my job was to sort out the curtains and the decor to go with it. The bed was painted white and I chose Turquoise organza for my curtains. I thought for a while what sort of look I wanted and had the idea to make beaded tie backs, I wanted an opulent look so I looked for a good mix of Turquoise and other assorted vintage metallic beads, gem beads and pearls which matched well.  I found a fabulous mix of odd beads on ebay, then bought some plastic rings for my hooks, and the rest I had in my stash.  I also used Tiger tail, crimp beads, crimp covers and my jewellery tools.  I wanted to keep them as random mixes so I made each differently. I started by doubling my tiger tail, and folding this over, then fixing the first ring with a crimp and covered this with the crimp cover. I then threaded m…
