Four Fantastic Fabric Flowers!!!!
Sense I have all this time at home lately. I have tried to keep myself busy with crafts and what not. I Bought fabric last time i had extra cash, plus i picked up a bag of scraps from a lady in town for a few bucks. So i could keep myself busy. So here is my walk through on how to make these flowers....
Fabric flower #1
Basically flowers 1 and 2 are the same except i few minor details
Basically flowers 1 and 2 are the same except i few minor details
step one: cut 5 circles out of your fabric. I just traced a small playdoh container and cut that out. ( This step is the same in all 4 flowers) |
Step 2: fold your first circle in half like this.( This step is the same in all 4 flowers) |
Step 3: Fold it in half again. So it looks like this. |
Step 5: this is what it should look like once you slide it off your needle. |
Step 6: Repeat steps 1-5 for all 5 circles :) |
Step 7: Push them all toward the end of your thread so you can tie your knots. |
Step 8: Now it is important to tie it tight but not so tight that the string breaks or you cant slightly move the pedals. |
Step 9: Even out the pedals. |
Step 10: pick out the side you like the most. |
Flower #2
For steps 1&2 see flower 1
Step 3: In this step it is slightly different sense you don't fold it a second time, like on flower # 1. Thread along the curved end and then pull tight together. |
Step 4: This is what it should look like pulled tight together. |
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 on all 5 pedals. |
Step 6: Tie three knots. This process is done the same as flower #1 |
Step 7: pick the side that looks the best for your front. Flowers #3 and # 4 Step 1&2 is the same as flower #1 |
Step 3: This is a bit tricky without actually showing you. Basically you tuck in both sides |
So it looks like this. |
Step 4: Ok in this step the trick is to make sure you go through all the layers like this. |
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 till all 5 of your pedals are strung on like this. |
Step 6: pull them tight, and tie it like you did for the flowers #1 and #2 |
Step 7: For flower # 3 it is all prepped. |
Step 7: For flower #4 is flatten like this. |
Okay so to finish flowers #1 and #2 I put them on bobby pins like this.... Small drop of hot glue in the center on the side that is your back. |
Then push in your bobby pin. |
Then put a small piece of fabric over it. Flip it over and put a bead or a button in the center. Then its ready for your hair. |
For flower #3 you open up the bottom a little bit like this. |
Add a drop of hot glue. |
Then stick in your bobby pin. |
I push the bottom of the flower on the bobby pin and your done. |
For flower #4 after you flatten it flip it over. The ugly side is where you put your dot of hot glue. |
Put your bobby pin on top and cover with fabric. |
The center doesnt look so pretty but this is what it looks like flipped over. |
Add a button (in my case a bead) to the center and your all done! |
I really hope you enjoyed learning how to make these flowers. I know at my home I have about 50 ready for my hair in every color and size! Please leave any questions or comments below :)
