DIY Fabric Flowers: Creative How-To Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Petals

To create your petals, draw circles of the desired size on the back of the fabric. A glass can serve as a template. If you don't want to cut out each circle individually, draw one circle, fold the fabric into several layers, and secure them with pins.

Now cut out the circles. Using a dressmaker or fabric scissors will make this process easier.

Step 2: Sew the Flowers Together

Fold each petal in half and sew them together. Start on one side and thread the needle back and forth through the fabric until you reach the other end.

Each petal is strung one after the other on a sufficiently long thread. Then, tighten the flower by sliding the fabric along the thread closely, and secure everything with two or three knots. If you don't want to add more decoration to the flower, cut off the thread and the flower is ready for use.



Step 3: Decorate the Flowers

For a decorative center, you can use buttons or beads, which you can easily sew into the middle of the flower. Don't hesitate to use hot glue if sewing is difficult for you. If you want to attach the flowers to branches later, tie a loop at one end of the thread.

Variations of the Flowers

Customize your flowers by combining different fabrics, colors, and sizes. Or arrange the petals overlapping instead of in a line and thread them with an open edge.
