This cheerful little flower is meant to make you smile. Wouldn't it make a great pin or applique? I attached it to a picture frame in my book, Hip to Bead (click link for pic of finished frame). The flower is made from layered pieces of felt, then it's embellished with seed beads, bugle beads and a millefiori lentil bead. I dig this kind of bead embroidery because it's a really easy (really, it is!) way to add dimension and sparkle to fabric projects.Come back tomorrow for all of the links to other people's Ornament Thursday posts!

I love the Aloha Flower and would love to make it, there are so many possible uses for it! Do you have instructions for how to make it?
Glad you can see the uses, too. The complete instructions and patterns are in my book, Hip to Bead, which you can find at your favorite bookstore or library, or at www.hiptobead.com.
Love the Aloha flower, Katie. I could see that as a pin, a bracelet or a shirt - the possibilities are endless. Thanks for showing it!

I love this idea, most adorable. Hope more good things are sprouting in your studio!
Cheers,

Super pretty, well made and adorable flower! I really think your book, Hip to Bead, which I own (of course!), reviewed on Amazon (5 stars!) , and love, is GREAT! Jean!
very pretty and colorful...I tried making some felt shapes (not beaded, though) with my sewing machine and buttons. Thought they could be strung with funky beads to make a necklace.
Thanks for your comments, gals. Everyone's sprout posts are really making me feel like spring is almost here!
I love this Katie...wish a quick trip to the islands was in my future. Your book is great too!
Katie, what a pretty flower - makes me think of warm weather instantly!
Super cute!!!
This is so pretty -- full of color. It's beautiful. I need to hop to it and check out your book.
Beautiful colors. I'm a complete sewing klutz, but this looks like something I'd like to try...
Great combo of colors. Bright and welcoming. And the beads sure finish it off!
so cute and spring-ish! I really liked it on the picture frame.
