"L" is for Leather

Leather flowers.


I used to work for an interior designer back before kids and lots and lots of samples would come through.  Fabric, leather, trim, cord, wallpaper, paint - everything - heaven now that I think about it.

Those days are long gone but I still have a huge bin full of 'out dated' leather samples just waiting to be used for a project.


After seeing all the felt flowers out in blogland I thought for sure I could do leather flowers.


Here's how I made the flowers:
(I prefer the wrong side of the leather to be my front.)

Cut out six petals plus a small circle for the back and a contrasting circle the front center:


Hot glue straight edge of petal together, hold with binder clip:


Hot glue all petals together in circle form onto small circle:


And add your center:


Go crazy and make lots:


I attached a hair clip to the back to make them user friendly:


Now let's use them:



Bling for your clipboard:



Mother's Day craft anyone?
