| So easter is now just a few short days away. So I guess it would be about that time for last min me to post a simple and cute little easter flower that can jazz up any skirt, basket, or head for Easter. Not that this has to be just for Easter, it’s just a puffy and full fabric flower, for any reason you have to wear one. |
|
|
| Start by cutting out some petals, as many and as large as you want the flower to be. |
 |
| Then cut out the same amount in a smaller size. |
 |
| Then take your larger petals first and stitch back and forth along the bottom of the petal. |
 |
| Then pull it tight to gather the petal. |
 |
| Continue adding petals. |
 |
| When you are done with the large petals you should have a circle of petals. |
 |
| Then do the same with the smaller petals. Creating a circle of petals on top of the other. |
 |
| next cut a strip of fabric. |
 |
| fold it in half several times and then cut the top into a petal shape. |
 |
| unfold it and it should look like this. |
 |
| Then wrap it around the flower petals |
 |
| next I cut out some “stem” like shapes. |
 |
| spread out the petals and then sew the stem pieces in the center, fanned out. Then I glues I rhinestone to the center. |
 |
| lastly I glued a small circle with elastic sewn to it to the back of the flower. You could use a safety pin, brooch pin, snap, anything you like really. |
 |
| Now what to do with your new flower? Well I used the elastic to wrap around the button of the pleated skirt. Or you could add it to an Easter basket like I did for the prop in the Easter Tea Skirt. Either way you have a little something something to spruce things up.
Enjoy! |
