Made this pin using a covered-button kit as the base.
For the sheer petals, I took apart an ugly pre-made flower that I’d gotten at a thrift store over a year ago in a “grab bag” of things.
It’s inspired by something I saw on Pinterest. The other crafter’s version was better, of course… Things are never as easy as they look!

It’s so pretty! I love that you upcycled an unloved flower and changed it into something beautiful!

Thanks! Now that I look at the picture, I can see that I need to fray-check the ends of the green ribbon.
It is lovely!
Also, ingenious use of a covered button kit. It’s seems like a neat way to make all sorts of fiber pins

Thanks, everyone!
Yes, covered buttons work pretty well. I had to take it apart a bit so that the back would be flat. Also put a very thin layer of batting between the embroidered fabric and the metal backing piece.
