Cute Fabric Flowers

These are so easy and cheap to make! Scrap fabric, buttons, needle and thread!

Ahhh :-)

These jars were kinda borring...

I took some burlap, carefully hot glued one end, and wrapped it around and glued the other end,

Now time for the fowers, pick out some scrap fabric, here I used an old t-shirt.

find a circle, keep in mind one petal will be 1/4 the size the circle, to trace around. I used 3 different sizes.

Trace 5 circles of each size, this makes 1 flower, and cut them out.

fold in half veritcially

Fold in half again.

hold the 2 folds facing you, sew along the cut edges. Start the first petal from under neath to hide the knot in the thread. Double the thread to make it stronger so it wont break when you pull it tight.

sew long stiches along the cut ends.

hold the thread, and scrunch down the fabric.

and repeat for each petal, being sure to start with the 2 folded ends facing you each time.

for the 2nd and rest of the petals, poke the needle from the top side down, this will keep the petals nice seemless looking when pulled tight together.

after you have all the petals on, thread the needle back through the first one, just enough to join them

Pull tight and tie off.

Then hot glue a button over the hole, it needs to be slightly bigger than the hole.

if you dont have buttons, you could cut out a circle from cardboard, and cover it with fabric.

Then glue the flower to whatever :-)

These are so cute! I had to make more :-)

bottles from my neighbors recycling, since we dont drink, but the bottles are so cute to decorate with!

Im sure ill be making a ton more of these!
