I came across these beautiful handmade flowers while searching for the perfect year-round indoor bouquet – a little something lovely and sweet for a bud vase next to the bed, on the dresser or perched up in one of our doorless cabinets.
Imagine my surprise when Rasa, the artist behind these creations and LiRaDesigne, not only offered to give me a sneak peak at the process of making the stems, but also step-by-step directions to share here!
I adore the simple and soft look of the cotton flowers – the glass beads in the center add a delicate touch.
Rasa calls them ‘Waiting for Spring’ Winter Flowers, but I would display them all the time for every season. If you’d like to purchase the finished product instead of making each by hand, check out LiRaDesigne shop here. They’re very much within the budget!

Thank you, Rasa, for this wonderful tutorial!
like the crafts.
Very pretty! I want to make some of these myself. Thank you.
I wonder if you used an old mattress pad? Then you could just take off the top layer of fabric.
Cool idea.
I think an old mattress pad would definitely work – that’s a great idea. Anything that has that fuzzy white cotton look would be great. Maybe quilt batting from the fabric store, too?
