I love these for the flower girls since it will be winter I plan to have them carry something like this instead of flower baskets only I have no clue where to get them or how to make them, If i can figure out how to make them I'd like to do one white, the second one blue and the last one silver but just a thought not sure how hard it is to make these. Any help would be great. Also anyone know any good places to find the wings for the girls?
i was going to have a winter wedding and before i changed my mind i had decided to have the flower girls throw snowflakes!
winter weddings are so pretty
It looks like some kind of faux fur.
first pick your fabric, craft stores or fabric stores or online are good.
second have your flower girl(s) fold there arms almost like a genie with finger tips in elbow crease measure from half way down there fore arm on one side to half way on the other. also measure around the two arms together.
get the appropriate material length and width.
then take the fabric and hold it so the fuzzy side is on the inside stitch a seem along the edge of the unfuzzy side so that the sides are open and the back and front are closed, if you want to ad a hanging ribbon now is when you do it, stich it to the seam in the shape of a loop that you have just made.
then turn the whole thing inside out so that now the fuzzy side is on the outside again you can then tuck the ribbon in side when the girls are using them, plus young distracted girls it will give them something to play with, then when you want to hang it you just bring the ribbon out and do so.
if your feeling ambitious when you stitch in the seam you could also stitch a little pocket in where you could put say a bracelet or something as her flower girl present.
hope this helps.
