Pronta by Maru Stephens

Ohhh! How I love to make the flowers for each Pronta. Thats the part that I really enjoy! I remember when I started Pronta, didn’t come with the flower yet. And for me was like: ehhhww Okay! This need a partner! What can be? A Flower! How I make one? An then I started to give a shot making a flower, but I was getting frustrated because, since was my first time actually doing a fabric flower, wasn’t filling my expectations and didn’t give the “touch” that I wanted for Pronta.

Like the quote says “Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did”, I finally found the perfect flower style for my Pronta’s!

So what I did was recycle the strip of my Pronta’s, which is awesome. Recycling is always awesome, right? And add a button. But, a normal button didn’t really fill me up, so researching online I started to find the charm in the vintage buttons. Besides of having a story behind each one, they are so pretty! I love the little details on them. What can I say, I spent days on eBay bidding in a LOT of buttons. I remember my husband was thinking that I have a new addiction: buttons, or something. Because since is his account, Ive been “watching” lots and lots of buttons, trying the get a good deal on them, and he was receiving a lot and lots of alerts in his email about them. Hahaha, whooops.

So I finished with this kind of flower: recycle materials + matching with the Pronta (since Im using the same fabric for the flower) + have a unique feature which is the vintage button on it.

Pronta isn’t the same after I get to make the flowers for it. It changed everything! That’s why I always suggest to use the flower pin ON or WITH the Pronta.

I leave you with some of my favorite flowers so far:
