Pink Spring Flowers Brooch with Yellow Vintage Button


Vendor: Elle's Beads
This eco-friendly flower is made from fabulous upcycled fabrics from the Scrap Exchange in Durham, NC. I used a combination of thinner delicate fabric and tougher, rich fabric. The first fabric is a white patterned print with pink daisies and green leaves. The second is a gorgeous peach colored fabric as a lightly contrasting accent. The button used as the flower center is a fun vintage button from my grandmother's collection. The bright yellow disk is surrounded by a beautiful golden filigree weave. It's meant not only to reflect the center of a traditional flower, but to inspire the feeling one gets when basking in the warmth of the sun.

The petals were machine sewn on my antique Singer and then hand stitched together. The button was also hand sewn on and the pin bar is attached with a self adhesive. This sexy brooch is perfect for up-styling a scarf, purse, or blouse this spring and summer.
