Remember the pretty purple sweater that grabbed my eye because of the color and cute little ruffles?

My first thought was to turn the sleeves into Easter cups {here}.  But after that project,  you know I just couldn’t throw the rest of the sweater away! 
 
 
 
So I cut the ruffles off the bottom of the sweater.

And rolled them up with the ruffles rolling on top of each other to create a flower. You saw it coming, didn’t you?

I dug through my craft shtuff and found I had this wire.  Don’t know how long I’ve had it or why, but good think I checked before I ran out and bought new.  You could also use a rubber band or sew a couple of quick stitches to hold it closed.

And in less than 5 minutes really I had 4 adorable flowers.

I’m still brainstorming what to do with these cute little flowers. I could put them on a “stem” and put them in a vase or pot. I could attach them to a hat or headband. I could use them to spruce up my gift wrapping. What ideas come to your mind?

    1. How exciting, Patricia! Etsy is the most well-known, but there are many other sites that you could use. While I haven’t used these myself, I know that ArtFire, iCraftGifts, and Bonanza, to name a few, allow creators to sell their items. Wishing you much success!
