Kari’s creations give ordinary tops, dresses, skirts and even home accessories that upscale boutique touch. The keys to success are her classic Whimsy Sticks™ and the endless ways she uses them to make flowers, trims and more. In this workshop, she demonstrates a variety of techniques and shows viewers how to make flowers of all kinds, wonderful trims, and breathtaking medallions.
With classic Whimsy Sticks™ (sample sticks are included in her book or classic sticks can be purchased separately), viewers will learn new ways to make pointed petals, twisted trims, and unique fabrics edges, plus she includes special effects like curling edges, shaping, blocking petals and crushing.
Kari takes viewers beyond just creating these fabulous trims and flowers by sharing ideas for applying them to ready-mades and sewing projects. One of her favorite results comes from working with iridescent metallic wired ribbons; with them she creates magical flowers with a subtle shine that hold their unique shapes. Let Kari show you how your creativity can blossom!
