Recycled Rose Pillow

Alisa from Redefining Creativity made this striking pillow with leftover fabric roses she made from an earlier project. She used a sewing machine to create the delicate stems for the flowers, but recommends using hand embroidery or painting them if you don’t have a sewing machine.
