Easy Fabric Flower Tutorial (from old flowers)
Items needed:
- Old flowers
- Threaded needle
- Felt
- Hot glue
- Scissors
Instructions:
Take the old flowers apart and start with 5 flower petals. (You made need more or less depending on how you want the finished flower to look and how big the petals are.)
Fold the first petal in half and in half again.
Add a small stitch to the bottom to keep the petal folded.
Cut a circle of felt, about penny size, and add a generous amount of hot glue.
Press the flower into the glue.
Hair clips, headbands, jewelry, accessories!
To make the hair clip, just cut a 2nd piece of felt and glue the clip in between the two pieces of felt.
Here is one from a pink flower:
And from a rose:
The last two flowers had a few different sized petals, so for extra poufy-ness, I hot glued a bunched up, small petal to the center.
Have fun!
