Miss Pixie - I love your bouquet. Just today I came to the conclusion that i want felt flowers, and it'll be blues like yours. And I'm going to have ago myself - only I'm a bit scared by how long it might take...
Did you follow any guides you can recommend? Or have any tips?

How did you get the butterfly shapes for the felt keyrings? Did you cut them all out by hand!? x:)0

Thanks
I didn't follow a guide I kindof just figured it out as I went along and googled certain embroidery things because I wasn't sure how to do it.
Tips.. erm you might not be able to buy wire long enough for the stems because if they are too short you end up with a rubbish shape and a tiny bouquet so if the wire is to short attach it by folding in half and pushing through then twisting. Then get another piece of wire fold it in half twist it and tape it to the stem!
Yes I cut every single butterfly out by hand =| that was not a fun day lolGetting married Wednesday 24th August 2011!
