Yes, not so glamorous indeed, but probably the most important. We are the ones who help mold, uplift, and carry our children when they need us to. We are the ones they turn to when hurt, scared, or proud. We are their mothers and we have been given the opportunity to love them like no one else in this world.that makes a mother beautiful in my eyes.so to help mothers feel a little more pretty on the outside, I’ve created this lovely flower corsage, made out of satin ribbon. supplies:one yard of satin ribbon (thicker size)one small circle of feltone pin for the backhot glue.
