Reviews
I have not yet attempted this bauble. I have no knowledge of Rick rack so I am attempting to do it in peyote. I have in the past completed a little box using a similar style so hoping it will be similar. I attach a photo.
Well written,violetta offers advice if you require it
I am enjoying this little project as I do all Violetta’s. These little flowers are so versatile that I plan to use them to embellish a ball cap. Love them!
Thought it was a very pretty. I haven't made one yet.
Very well written and diagrammed,Violetta was helpful too
