Ideas for Creating Your Own Embellishments

I was at the local giant craft retailer, as I always am, and saw that they were selling embellishments for quite a bit of $$$.

Here are some ideas for making your own from your scraps and other things you may have on hand. I basically hot glued a bunch of things onto paperclips.

12 o'clock: two felt leaves with sewn detail

1 o'clock: four felt flowers sewn together with pearl center

2 & 3 o'clock: simple, just ribbon

4,5 & 6: two flowers stacked, copper brad in the center

7 & 8: (do these things have a name?) They are created by folding a strip of paper into a tiny accordion.

9 & 10: two flowers with a button center and a bow

11 o'clock: four felt flowers sewn together

I just thought of one more, but didn't have time to include it in my picture.
