Whatever Wednesday: Fabric Flowers

by 12 Comments

It is so much fun making flowers out of fabric!! Here are two flowers that you can make by using circles! Both are super easy!


For the 6 petal flower, I got the idea here.
This is how I made it:
1) I traced out 6 circles on the back of my fabric. These were about 3 inches in diameter

2) I then cut out the circles

3) I then folded one of the circles in half and then in half again
4) With a needle and thread, I sewed the bottom and pulled the thread tight. I then sewed back and through the last of the petal to make sure it stayed nice and tight.

5) Using the same thread, I did the same thing for the next petal

6) I continued to sew all of the 6 petals. I then sewed the first and last petal together to make a circle in the middle.

7) To cover the circle in the middle, I made a rosette (tutorial here) with the same fabric and glued it on. Then I glued it onto a clip.
For the circle flower
This is how I made it:
1) I cut out 5 circles, each about 2 inches in diameter
2) One circle is the back and 4 others are the petals. I took on circle and folded it in half and then folded it in half again. Then I put the tip in the middle of the bottom circle and sewed it into place
3) I then did that for the rest of the petals
4) Add a rhinestone or button in the middle to hide the thread and then put it on a cute little girl!
