THE

SHOPPER BAG

If your shopping bag is looking in need of some TLC, give it a new lease of life with a co-ordinating corsage. We created this one using grosgrain ribbon which has a slight texture.

PRETTYCARD

Say it with f lowers! This gift card is really easy to make - each petal is madę individually using the petal turnover technique (see page 85) and then arranged together. The f lower’s centre uses the gathered f iower technique.

CORSAGE

CANDLEHOLDER

The uses for this are endless! We’ve chosen to decorate a candle holder, but other ideas could include decorating a vase, wrapping around a table napkin or how about brightening up your utensils pot? Each petal tumover is madę individually. You may f ind using a thimble will save your f ingers when stitching together!

The perfect accessory for a summer wedding, girls⁹ night out or simply to brighten up a favourite jacket! Once the f Iower is assembled, disguise the ribbon ends with a couple of buttons, and secure a brooch clasp f rom your local haberdashery onthereverse.
