What a great way to weave fabrics, bringing back memories of weaving paper. I used cotton fabrics to create the background, vase, flowers, and stems. The flowers are made of yoyos with embellishments of buttons in the center and, of course, you cannot have flowers without the butterfly with pipe cleaner.
