Gave new life to these crocheted flowers and leaves. These special pieces were part of the bridesmaids bouquets for my sisters wedding in ~2016. I had the bouquet on display- much like real flowers- ever since then. Finally I got the idea to lay them out flat and display them in a frame.

I wish I could say I made these flowers but alas, I don't know how to crochet- maybe one day. It is thee craft Rebekah and I are constantly saying to each other we gotta learn- but what can I say were knitters at heart. My sisters mother in law handmade all of the flowers for the wedding herself. I have kept everything original to the bouquet. I never truly appreciated the different types of leaves until I disassembled the bouquet and laid them flat. I love them all but I think the monstera type leaf is my fav. Per my style, I forgot to take a pic of the bouquet before I took it all apart 🤦

The frame is from dollar store and I glues a foam piece to the backboard of the frame. Placed a piece of black cardstock over, then laid down the lace, added a little glue to keep in place. Finally I arranged the flowers and pinned into the foam to secure with needles.

I absolutely love looking at this piece on the wall. I find myself constantly glancing over to admire it while sitting on the couch.

Mini Eye wall hang. I made this lil guy several months ago and I realized I never posted it. I was inspired by the celestial vibes of the fabric and druzy rock. Adorned with some Swarovski crystals I plucked off a failed project. Small but striking. I love the way the druzy and crystals catch the light 💖

Wall art made from cardboard covered in fabric adorned with gems and handcut plastic beads made from repurposed plastic bottles.

Made this wall deco some time ago. Its been on the wall suffering from my judgemental glances for several months now. Finally, yesterday, I removed some of the plastic beads and shortened up the beaded strands which helped with the overall look. But looking at the pics I just realized I twisted the left strand when I hooked it back together 🤦 I guess this piece needs tweaked yet again lol
