These flowers are so surprisingly simple!
What you'll need:
-polyester satin fabric (I guess it's just polyester. At the fabric store the ladies laughed at me when I asked for satin polyester and said, "If it looks like satin, but it's cheap, then it's polyester."
*1/8 of a yard will make about 4 flowers
-Thread
-Candle/match
-center embellishment (like a pearl)
First, cut out 5 circles of different sizes. The largest circle should be the size you want your flower to be.
Next, light the candle. Hold the edge of the fabric directly over, but not touching the flame! I did this next to the sink, just in case. If the fabric lights on fire, blow it out. After the first one you will see that it is very easy to curl the fabric. Turn the circle, curling each side. If you old the middle over the flame, it will curl too. Try it out to see if you like more crinkled.
Once the pieces are all crinkled, layer them on top of each other. I used thread and put a few stitches in the center to hold them together.
Lastly, add your center trinket.
Stay tuned to my blog to see how I used these flowers to make this bracelet!
It would be prettier on a better arm; mine is hairy! LOL
