One of the elderly ladies in church brought me some offcuts of organza a while ago. I decided to make corsages from it to use the different pieces together.
I cut a template of a flower pattern from card board, placed a few layers of the different materials on top of each other, and cut a few flowers. They did not need to be the exact same size, as you move them around anyway for the leaves to overlap. I then sewn it together in the centre and added beads, buttons, or sequins. I added a piece of ribbon and lace to some at the back, and then added broach clips, and hair elastics to others. I use these to zoosh up a garment, a hair band or simply to a gift wrapping......easy, cheap and hundreds of uses!
