Here are three ideas for those scads of silk flowers you see languishing on the shelves of Goodwill (or, worse yet, in your living room.)
Monica Ewing at Crafty Nest took an ugly poinsetta garland and turned it into a stunning pendant light.
Disney at Ruffles and Stuff took a 25 cent thrift store clutch and covered it with Dollar Store silk flower petals.
Danny Seo at Daily Danny soaked his in plaster to create faux ceramic flowers. (Messy but original.)
CUTE ideas!!

Love all of these ideas. So much better than a bouquet of fake roses!
ReplyDeleteThe light fixture looks kind of like one I've been coveting recently. Hmmm . . . I wonder if I could pull it off . . .
ReplyDeleteHow could two things that are so right (silk and flowers) be so frequently wrong when put together? I like these ideas, especially the ceramics.
ReplyDeleteSuch great ideas! I love the paper lantern!
ReplyDeleteThe light fixture is a brilliant idea. I've been looking for something like that - but I'm not very good at DIY projects...!
