$5 Friday…Flower Pins

Hey!So I forgot it is $5 Friday today. It's a holiday here in Utah and we're on our way out the door---the boys to go fishing and me to go fabric shopping. But since we were gone last week.....Here's a quick $5 idea. I put it together just a few minutes ago. When I need a quick something to put on a plain T-shirt these pins are easy to whip up.Supplies:1. Scrap Fabric (For mine I used 3 different sizes of scrap.)2. A Pin BackInstructions:1.
