On my desk this morning - Poppy Pins for Memorial Day. I used the svg from Abbi Kirsten, with a few minor modifications. 1. After all the pieces are uploaded, select all, align center. Then resize to 6.5 wide. I may even go to 6 wide next time - but 6.5 worked, and the centers still cut well, I cut on cardstock plus for the centers - just to make sure they cut well. 2. I deleted 3 of the 3 petal pieces - making each flower just 3 layers. The 4th layer is nice for bouquets, but for the pins, I wanted a little less fluff.
I just used regular straight pins, stuck through the base layer and then we wear them like we would any corsage pin.
