  Step 1

  Gather supplies:

• 

  Step 2

  With thre right side down, place a glue dot on the tip of one of the ends. Stick together oposite ends so that you are left with a triangle. Now that you have the right side of the fabric on top, place a dot of glue on the corner that had glue before.

• 

  Step 3

  Now fold the left corner until the tip is glued to the bottom tip. Place a dot of glue over this union.

• 

  Step 4

  Fold the Right corner so the tip get glued to the bottom tip.

• 

  Step 5

  Secure with a clothes pin until the glue dries.

• 

  Step 6

  Turn it around and place a tip of glue on the right and left corners.

• 

  Step 7

  Fold the tips to the center and press.

• 

  Step 8

  Now fold the fabric by the middle...

• 

  Step 9

  as shown.

• 

  Step 10

  Secure it with the Clothes Pin until it dries.

• 

  Step 11

  Cut the tip off the petal, make sure its straight!

• 

  Step 12

  Dab some glue on the freshly cut side...

• 

  Step 13

  and press it together with the clothes pin.

• 

  Step 14

  Repeat steps 1- 11 untill you have enough petals to make a flower. When you do, cut out a circle of the backing material of your choice. I used green craft felt.

• 

  Step 15

  Shape the petals with your fingers until they look good. Please make sure the glue is dry by then or they will unfold. Turn each petal around and place a dot of glue on the bottom. In this step I used hot glue to save time.

• 

  Step 16

  Add a button on the center or any embelishments you like. These flowers can be worn on anything. I glue this one to a head band. I made soem felt leaves to add more color:D

  Step 17

  Now time to rock my new hair piece!

I also had many problems with the traditional metod, so I played with glue until I used little enough to look pretty but enough for them to not break apart. They are still very delicate!
