Fabric Flower Tutorial

I showed you the fabric flowers I made for Christmas in yesterday's post.  Today, I'll show you how to make one for yourself. 

Here is what you will need:


Materials
Glue gun and glue
Fabric
Scissors
Marker or pen
A flower template (just draw a flower shape and cut it out of paper)


Step #1: 
Trace the flower template onto your fabric. You will need 5-6 flower shapes per flower that you want to make.

Step #2:
Cut out the flower shapes
Step #3:
Cut out a circle from you fabric a little larger than a quarter. 


Step #4:
Fold your flower shape in half


Step #5:
Fold the flower shape in half again


Step #6:
Snip off the end

This is how it will look.  Add glue to the tip.
Step #7:
Glue the shape to your circle. 

Step #8:
Glue at least 3 more flower shapes onto your circle.  You may need more if you have a bigger circle.


Step #9:
Glue the last two petals onto the center of the flower. 





You can add a pin, hair bow, head band, magnet, etc. to the back. 

These make great small gifts and gift wrapping embellishments!

  1. Very cute. I've been thinking about fabric flowers lately. The more ways there are to make them, the more variety in the embellishing.

    Thanks for sharing.
