How To Make A Fabric Flower

These cute fabric flowers are so in right now, and SO easy to make. All you need is some cute fabric, a needle and thread, and a hot glue gun (optional).

First, cut your fabric into a strip, about one inch thick and about 2 feet long. The longer the strip, the bigger the flower will be.


Next, stitch the ends closed. Then, run a simple stitch along the entire bottom of the strip. Make sure you secure it. When you are done with the stitch, pull the thread so the fabric gathers like so:

Again, make sure to secure the ends. Take one end and turn the fabric in a spiral. Then you can either sew the layers together so they stay, or like me- just use a hot glue gun to secure it in place.

Then you can put a safety pin on the back, and pin it to a shirt, or hot glue it to a plain headband. Be creative!
