DIY: Painted Fabric Flowers, leaves and vase.

Painted fabric Flower, painted leaves and painted vase. Brilliant designer.

This is a DIY of fabric flowers for display. Take any artificial flowers of choice and assemble. Take any fabric, trace and "starch" them. Reassemble the whole pieces and it is ready.

Or, interestingly, you can paint them too. The petal, the leaves, up to your creativity. This one is my favorite, looks like a bunch of Hydrangea at first glance. Oh and the middle - buttons, artificial stamens - will do any.
