Great tutorial! I'm going to definitely try this at home... ♥

smartscruffyfashion said...

You put me and I'm sure a lot of others to BIY shame lol, that is a brilliant idea and if you copied that little purse with clasp you would do it so much better! Your petals look almost "fluffier" and better in shape. Amazing!

Oh god, I'm so inspired by your creativity and resourcefulness! I like those DIY Louboutins! Do those gauzy petals fray, though? Oh, who cares when it's so fab?!

...love Maegan said...

The sheer fabric I used is polyester ...so the edges do fray but minimally. and I really like the look of it ...it adds an edginess :)

“In 1935, Vitale Bramani led an expedition into the Italian Alps. The climbers used heavy, hobnailed boots for the approach, but then switched to thin-soled rock climbing boots for the assault. These climbing boots proved fatal when the expedition was hit by thick fog and a blizzard. Six climbers died from frostbite and exposure.
