Show and Tell: Funny Little Flowers

This is sort of a random Show and Tell.  I almost forgot that I had these funny little flower things hidden away in my craft closet.


I made them ages ago with yet another gadget I got from Japan.  As usual, I had big plans to make all kinds of things with these and then just got distracted by some other new, sparkly thing.









As you can see by the package, you can use ribbon or fabric or other kinds of trims to make the flowers.


I always seemed to use this crochet yarn stuff though.  I'm very drawn to anything variegated.



I used to make them all the time while watching TV, hoping to have a stack some day big enough to make something really substantial.  What I was waiting for...I don't know.



I was going to make these ones into a (lined) bikini top.



I thought about using them as embellishments on the yoke of a top or stringing them together to make straps or little cap sleeves for a shell.  But, again...I never did get around to it.


Now I'm imagining them in a bib necklace with some beads and lace attached.

What do you think?  Can you think of any uses for these things?  Leave me a comment with your great ideas so that I'm inspired to get my behind in gear and make something with them already~
