Thursday Tutorial: Fabric Flowers

I heart flowers... I remember in my retail days, I'd fash one out at work. They're fun, especially in the warm summer months. Feeling inspired, I decided to make my own using my trusty Cricut machine to cut out a template -- I used many sizes and shapes... (You can make your own flowers by hand... ahhh the creative freedom!)



...cut out the flowers...



...individually cut the petals...



...hot glue them together...



lay each pedal on top of the other forming the flower and then gluing the layers on top of each other...



... glue the center...



... add a backing (barrette or brooch)...



and then admire...



I made this one for the fourth of July using linen and ribbon... so fun!
