Its ages since I've made something for my Little Petals. I made the cupcake name banner for Oldest Petal ages ago and an Initial Canvas for Littlest Petal but neither of them have them up in their rooms because I take them to craft fairs as examples!
So Im in the process of making something for them to hang in their rooms - Oldest Petal (Maddy) has a pink room and Littlest Petal (Lillie) has a yellow room, so I've started making co-ordinating Initial Door Hangers for them.

They are, of course, made from my favourite fabric, felt and I've used the ribbon I won in the fabulous
paper-and-string giveaway (the May giveaway has started today so I highly recommend going over and taking a look!) plus lots of lovely buttons! I thought about using tiny glass beads on them too but like how they look with the ribbon and buttons.
I was lucky enough to be given some buttons recently by a friend of a friend who had closed down her knitting shop but knew I was into crafts and thought I could use them. When I say a few, there must be around 10,000 there (although I havent counted them all!) in lots of different shapes and sizes. I've had a fab time looking through them all and picking out my favourites, ones I think I can use in projects and just ones I like the look of! I've also decided to list some in my
Folksy shop as there are way too many for me to ever use. There are about 35 - 40 buttons in each bag and I've put together bags in brown, blue, yellow, white and pink at the moment and will be adding lots more soon!
I hope someone can make use of them and turn them into something fabulous!
Until next time x x
