Welcome to Episode 2! Since we are twins, we thought it would be fun to take on a segment we’d like to call, “The Double-Take Challenge!” The idea is that each of us would come up with our own project that involved 2 things. What are those 2 things this week? Fabric flowers and home decor. Take a look at what each one of us made…and you can make them, too! And of course, we’d like to know what “your take” is on fabric flowers and home decor. Post on our Facebook page or here on on our blog.

A big THANK YOU to JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores for making this episode possible! There is where we found our felt (right off the bolt!) and that gorgeous dupioni silk! Visit them at www.Joann.com.
Did you miss last week’s episode? It’s not too late to view that, too! Click here to learn how to make these chic dress form pin cushions!
Have a wonderful week!

I enjoyed looking through you web site.pretty excited to see what’s ahead.congratulations on your success.enjoy your day.
These are so cute! I love the purple flower pillow it was so unique and pretty. I am so in love with the lamp shade it turned out so beautiful I can’t wait to make some of these up!
I love the lamp. It would look perfect in my sewing room.
Yay!! LOVED BOTH!! Sorry Girls can’t choose….Excited to have that HUGE flower Download to add to my collection…..and LOVED that AMAZING fun easy peasy flower that I think sorta looks like a carnation!! Fun fun fun!!!! Another FANTABULOUS Monday!!
Love both of these projects! I love the idea for the lamp shade…. Can’t wait to try them both out!!!
i can’t wait to make these pillows with my daughter on our brand new sewing machine!
Fabulous tutorial. Can’t wait to make up a few in the next little bit!!

Just loved both these ideas!
love especially the pin cushion. Can’t wait to make some for Christmas presents. And, yes, I, too, found on some of my projects that pinning the bottom after anchoring the top makes it easier to ease the pieces together on the curves.
The flowers are cute, too. Could add some of those to the pin cushions, but on a smaller scale (by re-sizing).
Love watching you two.
As usual, loved the show. What fun things and I loved the lampshade. I think I may have to do some home decorating now. Cute, cute, cute
I love these flowers – so easy and soooooo cute – both styles!!! Thank you
Love the satin flower, that would work great on scarpbook pages to. Think I am going to try this for my heritage pages of my parents.
These projects are both just lovely! Good job girls!
As always, another cute idea. Looking forward to next week!
Love you girls! Both projects are so super cute! Can’t wait to make them both. Joann’s here I come!!!!!
I think I’d have to call this a tie! And, I just happen to have some silk dupioni in my stash!
really loved the lampshade idea–time to give my daughter’s lamp a face lift!
love it thank you
What a great start to Season 4. You have the best ideas and present them in a way anyone would have the confidence to give it a try. Missed you during the break and look forward to all the wonderful projects yet to come.
These are great and VERY easy. They would dress up anything; a handbag or tote, the ends of a sash, pencil toppers, a smaller version could be used on a greeting card or photo album. Given ten minutes I could probably think of ten more items to decorate. Thanks for the easy to follow instructions and the patterns.
Love it
Thank you from Florida
Great ideas girls. I’m excited to craft with you this season! I hope to visit your new fabric store in the next couple of weeks! It’s an hour and a half drive for me….but I’m sure sell worth it! My mom grew up in North Logan so she’s coming with me so I don’t get lost:)
I love your videos. They are so “you”. Keep them coming.
These are some fun ideas. I am going to make them with my daughter today. Thanks for the inspiration. I just love you ladies.
Nice work..again! I’d say it was a tie. You are both winners with great ideas.
Hello ladies! I love both ideas, so pretty and so easy! I’ll be making the pillows in red, perfect for the Holidays! And the lamp too! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!
Hi,
I give up, your pin cushions are soooo adorable, but where are the written instructions for them?? Would love to make, but its too hard to follow the video, can u please help??? thank you
Mary
Both of your flower ideas were great! I can see both of those projects in my very near future! Love your blog and keep the great ideas coming please.
Love it!! It’s such a simple project, looks beautiful. Thinking of re-doing my daughter’s room.

I love the flowers I have some duponi silk since I do crazy quilting. Will try the flowers with it. Thank you
Loved these ideas girls, I could see making some of the flowers to do a Christmas theme or any other holiday just making the flowers and hiding them in the tree or baskets of pine cones even. Thums up!
Adorable and creative projects. Love the both, but I think the lamp shade is the winner. Thanks for the wonderful and easy home dec ideas!
Gorgeous flowers and projects!!
I love Kim’s idea with the lamp! But what I did was I did alternating colors of purple and blue and I just did that in a line along the edge of the shade. I love you Kim and Kris!
Everyone loves flower decor, these are some cute ideas for the home to spice up an old lamp shade and even decorate the sofa, chair or bed with some pretty flowered pillows. Thank you ladies!
Love both ideas….but will be using the lampshade! I have some adorable lamps that have been needing some fun/unique shades, this will be perfect for them and the room!!! Thanks for all the fabulous ideas!
well this DIY will definitely get my hands to work. =) i think gonna be needing an assitant to do this. it’s so lovely
This is awesome!!!!! I love flowers and am starting to take a interest in cake decorating attempting to make my first one this coming sunday and will be using all the techniques of making flowers that I learnt using fabrics.
I will definatly be using the lamp shade when I need to jazz up a lamp shade when I move out.
I would like to know if you would please be kind enough to share what tool’s you used from JoAnn’s Fabric’s..To create your flowers.. such as, the OmniGrid (I think that’s what it said) the ruler you used and what is the rolling thing that cut your silk? I’d love to have one of those!! Thanks so very much!! I hope they came from JoAnn’s..I’m assuming they did…I love DIY dish!!

Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which
blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers
and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
