Add on Fabric flower




This is a very simple project. The flower shown in the photo above is a fairly large flower, this size I would suggest you use for home decor, but would defiantly not recommend for hair wear. I will give you more size variations in tutorial.















You'll need.........

Fabric
Thread and Needle
Scissors
A button




OK, LET'S GET STARTED!!





 To create the same size flower shown in the very first photo, cut a 4 inch wide piece of fabric.
 KraftyTip: To make a smaller size flower, I would suggest no smaller than 2 1/2 inches in width.






 Approx. 30 inches in length.
KraftyTip: Just play with it, does not really matter how long. I suggest a minimum of 20 inches.  




Now begin to sew up one side of the fabric. Starting from the bottom corner of the fabric.The stitches should be about 5/8 of a inch apart.

KraftyTip: Don't think to hard on how far apart your  stitches are. I did not even measure. Just sew very loose stitches.  


 When you've have sewn all the way up your fabric pull the thread. Your fabric should begin gathering.



Now you are finished!!! You can cover your button with coordinating fabric, or just leave it plain. Sew or hot glue it on, and enjoy!!!!
