I took a vase I already had (from GW) and washed it really well. Then I lined it with tin foil....cause that's how I roll. Then I hot glued the felt flowers to the skewers and used Hubby's wire cutters (not mine in case it dulled them) to cut them to the right lengths.
Then I jammed the sticks into the lemon drops and arranged them just so.
I glued a felt "Love" on the pot/vase and there you have it. Cute little thinking-of-you gift for my sweet Grandma.
I hope she likes it.
The flower that looks like it has an eyeball is kind of freaking me out.
Maybe Grandma won't notice.
I wrapped it in red and white Christmas paper. Very Valentine appropriate.
I took yet another fabric flower and glued a felt flower to it and glued it all to a brooch pin so she can have that too. My Grandma always wore a pin to church.....not that she has to wear this to church....just saying that she used to.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! You are so very crafty! How are you getting this lovely gift to your grandma?
I love this too. And the eye ball marble is a wittle cweepy! LOL
SO CUTE! Love it!
Perfect gift to show your love & talent as well! I am wondering the same thing as HH... how does one deliver this cutie-pie gift?
So I saw this on Facebook last night and I didn't have time to read it, but when I saw it was for Gramma Good I quickly scrolled through...then I saw the lemon drops and I knew you done good. And, that is coming from the Grandkid who probably saw her the least! Very cute!! I love your flowers! Oh yeah, I agree, the eyeball is a little freaky :c)
Your grandma is a very lucky woman. That is adorable and shows a lot of love was put into it.
About the eyeball, ya, kinda creepy.
psshhhh.....HH and Nae...in a box of course! :)
So adorable! Saw you on Somewhat Simple. Love your blog!
