Tutorial: Recycled Silk Flower Pin

I've seen different versions of these silk flowers on Etsy, and I've always wondered how they made them.

Here's a nice tutorial.

The silk in this project could be harvested from silk blouses found at thrift stores. I often see fabric scraps or damaged silk blouses for a bargain at the thrifts.

Here is another tutorial only with deconstructed artificial flowers. I think I'd like to try these on a hair clip as well.
