Fabric Scrap Flower 2









Same idea different way to do it. Still very simple...Actually this flower in my opinion is a little more simple.


You will need

Scrap fabric
flower pattern (It will be very simple to draw your own) I got the pattern a long time ago off of burdastyle.com but it has since then been deleted off the site. Still an awesome pattern site you should check out when you get a chance. Here is the picture of the pattern though.



needle and thread
scissors
a button
a clip or pin or headband...ect




Step One Start by tracing out your pattern onto your fabric. You will want a total of 2 of the large flowers and 4 of the small flowers. Then cut out all the flowers. You can cut where the dotted lines are on the petals this will make your flower flutter. However you do not have to. Personally I prefer to leave the bigger size flowers un-cut where the dotted lines are and to cut the dotted lines on the smaller ones.

Step Two Take the two larger flowers and stack them one on top of the other. Then take the four smaller ones and fold each of them in half. You are going to want to layer them going in a circle. The best way I can think to describe it is that it should look like a cardboard box when you have it folded shut. I hope that makes sense I tried to change the coloring of the example picture so you can see how I layered it better.






Step Three Now you are going to want to sew the smaller flowers to the bigger flowers. Once you are done sewing them all down you can add the button to the middle and then your clip/pin/headband...ect. and that's it your done.
