DIY Silk Flower Scrapbook Embellishments
By Rebecca Ludens, About.com Guide
Save money on your favorite hobby by making some of your own scrapbook page embellishments. While shopping at your local craft store, thrift store, or even rummage sale, keep an eye out for great deals of silk flowers that could be used on your scrapbook layouts. The best flowers are ones that look good flat. Daisies in a variety of colors are the perfect choice. To get started, I found this bunch of flowers on sale at my local craft store for 60% off, making them just $1.99 US. In addition to the flowers, I gathered some buttons and extra large brads.
