  Step 1

  Grab some cardboard, you can use a cereal box or any cardboard you have laying around.

• 

  Step 2

  Draw some petals, I made a template and traced it but you don't have to be too fussy.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut them out. :-)

• 

  Step 4

  Get some scraps of fabric big enough to cover your petals.

• 

  Step 5

  Pin and sew your fabric petals, I used 12 but you could use as many as you want.

• 

  Step 6

  Sew them together in a circle or cut out a circle of felt and glue them down.

• 

  Step 7

  Add next layer of petals on top, I made these slightly smaller so they'd not cover the layer underneath.

• 

  Step 8

  Add your centre buttons, I covered one of them in one of the fabrics and glued it on top.

• Step 9

  I'm sorry I don't have a picture for this step but cut out a circle of felt and glue to the back. Add you safety pin or brooch back.

• 

  Step 10

  Here's another one I made using around 30 petals.

• 

  Step 11

  Here's the original from accessorize.
