Fabric Flower #2

FABRIC FLOWER #2

 

This flower is super simple I found a couple different ways of doing it on pinterest and then kind of made it my own. So this is what worked best for me.

 

Step 1. I cut out a flower shape out of paper and then pinned it on the fabric to cut it out. I am not good a drawing flowers freehand so i traced a quarter 5 times you can see it in the picture below and that made it so it was pretty even.

 

 

Step 2. For this flower i cut out 14 flowers. It depends on how poofy you want your flower most of the tutorials i saw only did 10 flowers it just depends on what you want. Anyway cut out however many flowers you want and 1 felt circle for the back.

 

Step 3. Fold the flower in half. And right where my finger is I put a small dot of hot glue and folded it in half again just to kind of keep it together.  So 1 pedel will be folded in half twice. You dont have to glue it in the middle like i did i just found the flower stayed together better.

 

Step 4. Place 4 pedals side by side onto the felt. Just put a small dot of glue in the middle and place the four around it. like the picture below.

 

Step 5.Do that same step again ontop of the ones you just glued in the spaces between. I did 3 rows of this on my flower.  Then for the top two just put a dot of glue and stick them in there so they are fluffed up. You can also not put the top 2 in and just put a button instead.

 

Side note. This works better for light fabric. I used just plain cotton for mine and you can see the right and wrong side. It would have probably looked better if you couldn't see the wrong side but oh well i still think it tured out pretty cute.

 

If you like this look better (the yellow flower below) It is the same process but instead of cutting out the flower with 5 pedals at the first it is just a cirlce. Then you just fold it in half and in half again just like before. The only difference is that its a circle and the red one was cut with pedals.
