These fabric flowers are so simple and easy to make. You can put one together in just a couple minutes with supplies that (if you're already a crafter) you're likely to have around! Here's how to get started:
First, you need scrap of synthetic silky fabric. Cut 2 or more circles in descending sizes. I made patterns from a few different pieces of glassware I had in my cupboard.
Snip a few triangles out of the circle to make petals. Don't worry
about being precise, these look better with unique irregularities.
This next step gives your flower a realistic appearance, and heat-seals the edges to prevent fraying. Use a small candle flame (very carefully), slowly turning your fabric flower to expose the raw edges to the heat. Watch your scrap of fabric turn into a gorgeous flower!
Layer your finished pieces together...
...then attach your layers with a bead or button sewn in the center.
Here's what my finished product looks like:
Use them for all kinds of crafts... I love how they look on my sweet baby shoes, and on this lovely little lady's elastic headband! The possibilities are endless.
