So Emily, this post is for YOU!
I begin by cutting circles - lots of them. You will need 4 fabric circles for one flower. Larger circles = larger flower and smaller circle = smaller flower... The choice is yours!
Cut a circle out of felt a little bit smaller than the fabric circles you just cut.
Now fold one of the fabric circles in half...
...then fold it in half again and add some hot glue to one of the sides.
Attach to the felt circle like this:
See how the "petal" lifts up? We are about to fix that...
Add a dab of hot glue towards the "point" of the triangle then press the top layer into place and...
You just made ONE petal - YAY!... now do this four more times (you can add even more petals layered on top of each other if you want a "fuller" look)!
Sometimes I use a fabric covered button for the center of the flower.
Attach it using hot glue... See?!
The only rule is that you can not only make one, you HAVE to make a bunch of these pretties!
Hot glue whatever "attachment" you want to the back to create a hair clip, a pin, an embellished rubber band, a pretty bobby pin... I could go on for days...
Be creative and have fun with these, but PLEASE use this tutorial for PERSONAL USE ONLY!
HOW CUTE!
