Zip This... flower

I bought my mom something she will like for her birthday, but she likes when she gets something MADE just for her!  I saw a really cool idea on pinterest.com for a rose brooch, there are similar brooches, but there will never be one exactly like this!  That's the cool thing about making something yourself, although someone else might have completed the project, the outcome is always a little different.  It's supposed to look like a rose, but it can basically be any flower.  You can use almost any zipper that is longer then seven inches, I used a green zipper because St. Patrick's day is coming up and I figured my mom can wear it on that day... plus any other day she would like.  The tools used for this project are: rotary cutter, thread, needle, hot glue gun, scissors, silk flowers (used to cover brooch pin on back), brooch pin, and a fancy button.  I used a button that I already had, (really it can be any button).  I'm pretty sure she will love it, not because its cute, but because I made it.
