When my fabric flowers were dry I assembled them and used fabric glue to glue them together and shaped them some more by pinching them at the base.
I glued the coffee filter flowers to the fabric flowers and added a piece or two of the inked seam binding, which was now flattened out somewhat. I sprayed all the flowers with Perfect Pearl mist. I hot glued a few pearl buttons as centers to the larger flowers. I inked some stamens I got from the baking department at Hobby Lobby, and hot glued this all together to make 6 eye-popping flowers with a vintage flair. I cut some leaves freehand from the remaining green coffee filter.
I needed a wide something to mount the flowers on, and much to my luck, ( it was St. Patrick's Day weekend, after all) I found this wide teal ribbon at a yard sale. I think it goes with the flowers perfectly. To bring it all together, I added a strip of self adhesive drywall tape to the ribbon. I used hot glue to add the assembled flowers, leaves and the tiny stringed pearls to the ribbon and notched the ends of the ribbon to make a banner. I used adhesive backed Velcro to adhere this to the handbag. I did this because I have plans to make other decorations for this handbag for the different seasons. I can remove this and add something else later, appropriate to the season.
I thought the purse looked nice, but still not enough bling. I looked through my stash of costume jewelry and found a dragonfly pin that went nicely and stuck that on. Also a pair of dangle earrings without the hooks. Since this looked so spring- like, I thought I'd take it up a notch, and I added some letters which spell out "spring". It's hard to get those little letters to stay in order! I used jump rings to attach them to the beaded strands. I had to use alcohol ink to make one of them match the set--can you tell which one? Love those inks! They save me every time! A final touch was to add Tim's "Life" key, since spring brings new life. I fastened this to the purse with my last piece of inked seam binding. Waste not, want not. Here's a better picture of those letters.
