Bachelor Buttons for Nicole





As I've been preparing for the big move Texas, one project I had to complete was to clean up my craft area. During one of my cleaning sessions I came across a stem of bachelor buttons I made a few years ago. I had never been quite satisfied with the piece or had any specific use for it. The moment I saw it though, I knew just what to do with it. An acquaintance of mine was getting married and I had wanted to gift her a little something for the wedding. I just knew these purple flowers would be the perfect item for her hair.



First I took the stem apart and to end up with some large flowers and some smaller ones. I used the smaller ones and mounted them onto some bobby pins. Then I fortified them with a hint of glue and viola. Simple hair accessory for a touch of color and a hint of nature.
