Last week’s question of the week asked what your favorite retro craft was! The answers brought back some fun memories. My current fave is making Straw Flowers.

I first saw these cool straw flowers on Martha. Cathy of California created these very cool straw flowers using vintage looms. I promptly ordered some supplies, and now I am hooked! What I love is creating little hair clips with them and attaching them to other projects.

For this card, I used the technique that Cindy Toby used on her layout. But instead of using the crepe paper, I used the twill tape.

Next I adhered the hair clip to the front of the card and added some stickers.

For a little more color, I cut a small strip of patterned paper and punched the scallop border.

A fun card with an embellishment that can be used!

Or Message boarders also spoke up with their faves…
