However, I want to give the people what they want! This is something I made over the summer and it has been one of my favorite things to make to date and I can't believe I haven't blogged this craft yet. I originally saw it made as a necklace, but I didn't like it as a necklace so I made it into a mini decoration. (You may notice some drill holes, just ignore those!) I didn't take step-by-step pictures, but it's VERY easy.
Here's what you need:
This was a very inexpensive project. The thimbles came from Hobby Lobby for $2 for 3, embroidery floss is <$1, and the pins were $2 for a box (as you will see I used only about 15)
Steps:
1. Pick the colors you want in each thimble. I used a variety but I think it would also be cute if you did one color per thimble.
2. Fill thimble 3/4 of the way full with hot glue (Be carful! That little thimble will get HOT!)
3. Arrange your flowers how you would like them. You will need to hold them in place for a few seconds while the glue dries.
4. Cut about 1-2 inches of embroidery floss, depending on how much grass you want.
5. Top off the thimble with another layer of hot glue. Be careful not to get the glue on the pins.
6. Quickly put the embroidery floss in the thimble before the glue dries. It may help to use another pin to push down the floss in between the flowers. Keep messing with it until you get your desired look.
I think these little flower pots are cute little details in any room! I love them. I keep mine in my bathroom on my vanity.
When I was taking pictures of these guys in my bathroom and editing them, I chuckled to myself at just how many crafts are on one single vanity.
