Carnaval

Today we had a reception for the youth carnaval Prins, princess, the adjudant and their 11 guards (but this year 13) form Bunde, called” de Haverzekskes “  All the parents of the guards wanted to do something too, so we came together and started makinglittle “haver zakjes” = oat bags embroidered a H, a Z and the year onto it. Inside came a bag filled with some candy and the gift was a few hours bowling as a group all together. Besides that we also wanted to make it visuable we were the parents of this years “ haverzekskes” so I said I can make carnaval brooches….

So today I made 26 corsages…. my table looking like this:

and afterwards:

 the result: One red Gerbera, combined with a piece of a feather stole, cut into pieces, a  paper paper flute with wire in  a little piece of industrial felt plus 2 Hedera leaves. I wrapped the stem with plain hemp kind of rope same material they made the oat basg with.  

Unfortunately I forgot to make a picture of them all laying together as I was of course in a hurry to get them finished on time and to get myself dressed for the reception.

All the others loved the corsage and we all got many compliments. So mission accomplished…
