Beaded rose

My daughter Starr made this as a thank you for a small act of kindness.  She was at the grocery store buying a gift for a friend when she discovered at the check out that she was 50 cents short the casher a nice young man (teenager) pulled the change out of his own pocket and made up the difference.

So when we got home she instant set to work to say thank you.  6.5 hours later this was made.  With way more supplies than the 50 cents would have bought supplies from my beading cupboard and her box of beads.  But who can put a price on random acts of kindness.  He did it just to be kind and she did it just to say thanks and neither know each other.

First she made the rose followed by the filler flowers then she added silk leaves that we usually use in corsages.  Then added a chop stick for the steam and wrapped that all in floral tape.

Once all made then she added the foil cello to finish it off.
