Tutorial: Another flower...

****I apologize for this being so late, but it has been in the works for a couple weeks now and I just got around to finishing it today!****

Sorry for all the flowers... I'm sure you must get sick of them after a while...  
I don't know if I have many more flowers after this one though!
They are very easy and simple, but they look so professional!

Here goes!  
Step One:  Cut 5 or 6 circles out of fabric.

Step two:  Fold each circle in half, and then in half again to make a wedge.  Iron the wedges.  These make the petals of your flower!


Step three:  Sew a running stitch along the open and rounded edge of each petal, connecting each one to the first without cutting the thread in between petals. 


Step four:  Once you get to the end of the last petal, pull the thread so it gathers the petals in a circle.  Then tie it off tightly. 

Step five:  Next you are making the center of the flower.  Cut a strip of fabric however long you want.  Hot glue and twist the fabric to make a coil-type of circle.  Cut off the end if the strip is too long.  




Step six:  Hot glue the coil to the middle of the petals and Voila!


***Optional: Glue to a bobby pin, hair clip, headband, or anything else you think works!***

More to come!
