I love alliums...those big puffy floral balls that sit atop rather skinny stems.
I'd love to have them line our mantle, but I have no interest in shelling out a small fortune to keep fresh ones in the house.
Enter: Alliums made from yarn!
They are so simple to make and I already had everything I needed on hand: yarn, glue, sticks.
The pom-pom tutorial calls for wool, but I didn't have any pretty wool that I was willing to waste on pom-poms, so I used regular acrylic yarn with sparkles...and I think it turned out just fine.

These are so cool Katie! Wonder how I missed this pin of yours? LOVE these and will have to try them. MY PP will be up later today. Had a slight glitch in my project and will finish it up today.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Katie - I was already HERE to get the new button code.... I SAW your flowers, but didn't even realize that they weren't REAL until I just came back to read your post. They are so cute!!! I've gotta try this! Also, the photo in front of the glass-block window is beautiful! ~Sal
ReplyDeleteDitto to Sally above!!!
ReplyDeleteThey looked so real and then I read your post. Incredible! You did an outstanding job! Well done!!!
GORGEOUS!!!! These look just fabulous in that window. I think I like the yarn you used better than the wool. Adds a bit of sparkle and shine. Very pretty indeed!
