Red Flower Accessories

I recently made these large red rose flowers and attached them to this very soft but sturdy black cotton ribbon. The durable, heavy-weight ribbon means that they can be tied and un-tied repeatedly without showing wear.

The flowers themselves measure about 10cm across but are very light-weight and easy to wear in a multitude of ways.

I can easily see them used in the more usual ways: tied around the waist as a sash or belt, tied around the head as a headband or tie-back, the wrist as a floral wrist corsage or even around an ankle for a more bohemian, free spirited look.

Another way of using these is tied around the handles of a bag like a bag charm or accessory. I do it all the time as it's an easy -and inexpensive- way to change a bag's look and brighten your mood in the process.

Another way I've seen them used is as a floral touch in home decor, wrapped around a vase or favourite object in the house. A flower accessory for the home.
I know I'd love to see these as nursery decor for a little girl! 
Perhaps tied around a bed post or chair.

Magical Fairytale - Mini Red Flowers

Petite red rose flower brooches. 

In my -as yet unannounced- new etsy shop Magical Fairytale .

I wanted a shop that would exclusively cater to the magic of childhood and capture that feeling of awe and wonder at all things fairytale. A shop with all sorts of 'props' that would furnish the world of an imagination bent on merging the fairydust of magical tales with life as we know it.

Thus Magical Fairytale was born.

I have big plans for this little shop that is at this point, basically, still under construction and -as all etsy shops are-always a labour of love.
