With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we though we would share some of our favourite ways to style up the Organdie Rose to best suit her:

Attach it to Long Bar Pin for an easy way to add your gift to any outfit

Perhaps add to a sun hat as the weather starts to improve

Apply it to a Hair Barrette for a striking hair accessory

The French Twist is optional 🙂

Or grab a piece of ribbon and fashion it into a Corsage

A beautiful addition for any special occasion you might have coming up as things start to relax once again

The Organdie Rose Mini Kits are available in 5 colours so there is something to suit the taste of every mum.

 

Mother’s Day in the UK is Sunday 14th March this year, so don’t delay and get your kit and online class on its way so you have time to make her a thoughtful handmade present this year.
