Every once in a while I get asked where I keep all of my flowers. For a long time they were hanging from a vintage-y scarf over our closet door. That actually worked pretty well, and I would suggest it to anyone for a quick and fancy-feeling display. When we put our house on the market we were asked to de-clutter. {Flower pin as clutter? Never! But, to each his own..} So for those months they ended up in a dresser drawer, all laid out for quick picking. When we took the house off of the market, I knew it was time to get serious about displaying my treasures. So last year, my favorite hubby and I made this:
It was so ridiculously easy, I didn't take "tutorial" pics.
There were our supplies:
- Old white-board found in basement
- Fabulous piece of fabric
- Quilt batting
- Glue {We started with glue that was ferociously toxic, so change instead to:}
- Hammer and Nails
I wanted a fabric that was adorable but did not take over, either. I found this nice little pattern from Joanne fabrics. I glued two layers of quilt batting to the white-board and covered it, just over the edges.
Kyle then hammered the fabric in place with tiny nails around the entire back edging:
I cut the edges back slightly but that's up against the wall so I wasn't too concerned about perfection. Here's a side-view of the final product:
It's super easy to pin them on with the quilt batting in place and now they have their own little place for display.
