Paper Flower Earrings

I have several amazing friends that I just adore.  Some of them are super organized while others are a bit more spontaneous shall we say.  One of my quirky spontaeous girlies called me with a fun last minute challenge.  She called at 3:30pm and said she needed 25 party favors for a bridal shower she was throwing the next day (in her defense her original favors weren't delivered on time).  And her budget was "as little as possible please"!  The bride to be is a journalist and loves roses...

Using paper (inspired by her journalist background), pearls and a tiny bit of felt I created these sweet paper rose earrings in all sorts of summer pastel colors matching the theme of the shower.  I sealed them so they are stiff and waterproof and can be worn again and again.  Apparently they were a huge hit and everyone loved them.  Yay :)

Felt Addict...

My name is Taryn and I'm addicted to felt. It's true. I've been playing with this eco friendly felt (made from 100% post consumer plastic bottles) and I'm just in love. Maybe the colder weather makes soft fuzzy felt more appealing, who knows. Whatever the case may be, I'm finding more ways to create with it every day. I've even opened up a new etsy shop dedicated to my eco friendly creations http://www.lolapetals.etsy.com/ ! With all the handsewing I've been doing with this felt I found I needed a handy pin cushion so I created this eco friendly pin cushion ring! So cute and handy too :)
