In this video I am making silk lilies out of white silk using flower tools or irons. I am also mounting my handmade flowers on an alligator hair clip as well as on a straw bandeau hat. White lilies are a symbol of St Catherine; the patron saint of Milliners. Her saint day is coming up on the 25th November.
