be your own martha stewart: dupioni silk flowers

haven't done a "be your own martha stewart" post in a long while. but just couldn't resist this.

wouldn't you want one of these lovelies at your wedding? or really, just want one in general?
found through style me pretty.
here's a DIY by the talented pair, Karrie and Elizabeth of Posh Paperie, along with photographer Jackie Wonders.

dupioni silk fabric color of your choice
matching thread
pair of scissors
needle

1. sew around the edges of the circle.this creates a pull or a “rouche” on the edges.

2. continue to sew around the edges.. making the flower start to take shape by allowing a half circle to form.

3. continue sewing to finish the radius of the circle.

4. knot the thread and cut the excess thread.

5. create various different sizes.

love that you can sew them on as extra detail to anywhere like table runners, purses/bags, hairpieces...the possibilities are endless!
