I also used the mini tattered florals too. I painted them with blue tones of the paint, and added lighter colours and some of the Picket Fence on the edges too.
A silver button threaded with very fine hessian string through the middle, and lots of manipulating of the leaves to make it more flower like. It is actually a brooch, and providing the sewing doesn't come undone, I will probably wear it!
I feel a few more of these coming on.... Thank you Tim for the inspiration....
You have still a few hours to join in if you feel creative, and I believe Mario has some great blog candy too!

OH I love this flower, Jennie, I never think about making flowers with mine...... love the colour xx
Great flowers. Love how you've coloured them and the preparation of the hessian is a great tip.
Great idea to add glue and seal to the hessian - it always frays really badly when I use it,

Ditto Lucy's comment - great tip, thank you! And I love your shabby denim look created with the blues and whites - only with added burlap texture - yum!
