Fabric Flowers

Meet Moxie.  Moxie is my sister Karen's dog.



Inspired by these flower dog collars made by Don't Disturb This Groove, I made these fabric flowers for Moxie to wear on her collar as a Christmas gift.


I mostly followed the fabric flower tutorial by Emily's Little World.  It was a great project because I didn't have to purchase anything to make them.  I just used some fabric scraps.  I found that batiks worked the best because both sides look the same.


The tricky part was deciding how they would be worn my Moxie.  I didn't want to glue them right to a collar {I didn't have her collars anyways}.  So I took some ribbon and sewed that to the felt circle that is used as the base of the flower {done prior to assembly of the flower}.


Here is Moxie modeling a couple of the flowers last weekend.  {Sorry the lighting wasn't that great.}


I think the flowers are super cute.  And they aren't just for dogs - anybody could wear them.


I am sharing at these parties.
