You Will Need (5 things)

  • Fabric scraps
  • Scissors
  • Needle and thread
  • Rubber Band
  • Cardstock

Steps (10 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    first gather your supplies
    Fabric, cardstock, rubber band, thread, needle...

    then double over your fabric

    and put the template on top

  2. 2

    cut around the template

  3. 3

    now keeping the two circles together, (like a sandwich)

    sew them together

    (like this)

    this is your finished base

  4. 4

    now we can work on the base petals

    take a long width of fabric (rectangular)

    and slowly gather the fabric into a fan shape

    thake this fan and sew it onto the base,

  5. 5

    repeat this stage until the base has been covered

  6. 6

    now we can work on the second layer of petals

    this is very simple, take a peice of contrasting fabric (rectangular in length) and roll it

  7. 7

    now stich these onto the base

  8. 8

    until it looks like this

  9. 9

    now with another peice of fabric make a rosette

    I just gathered the ends loosely and wrapped them(like a loose roll)

    I used a rubber band to keep the bottom end tight

  10. 10

    then using a needle with thread, I stiched the rosette into the middle of the flower.

    now you have your very own christmas flower
