When you print the pattern, you'll need to piece it together. It ends up 25 1/2" long and 4 1/2" wide with five points.

Fold fabric in half and cut flower with the long, flat edge on the fold. Refold with right sides together and stitch 1/4" from the zigzagish edge. Leave both ends open. Trim and clip corners.
Turn right side out through one end. Carefully push points out with something pointy. Press with a steam iron.
Turn one end to the inside 1/4" and press. Feed the other end inside the pressed end so it creates a loop as shown. Stitch near the fold to hold the two ends together.
Hand stitch a long row of stitching near the straight edge. Pull the thread to gather the center of the flower together and knot.
Stitch a button over the center onto whatever you're embellishing. Be sure to catch some of the center of the flower in the stitches.
