  Step 1

  You'll need a total of 18 "petals" composed of circles (I used 3" circles - you can use a ribbon spool for a circle template).

• 

  Step 2

  Since I had 3 types of fabric to incorporate, I cut 6 circles from each type of fabric.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut out a ~2" x 2" square of felt. This will serve as the base for your flower.

• 

  Step 4

  Fold 4 circles into quarters and arrange pie-like onto your piece of felt. Secure the points in a matching thread with a few stitches (see plus signs in green) connecting the petals to the felt. My first 4 petals were broadcloth since it is a heavier type of fabric - not "fluffy" like lace and tulle.

• 

  Step 5

  Fold another 4 circles (I used the remaining 2 broadcloth with 2 tulle) into quarters and place this layer on top of the 1st layer by overlapping the edges.

• 

  Step 6

  Keep repeating this until you have 2 odd circles left. Fold these into petals for use as filler. Add them in wherever you think the flower needs volume.

  (Optional) Add pearls or beads into the middle of the flower. I stitched mine in but you can also you glue if you prefer.

  Fluff your petals and attach it to a belt or long piece of ribbon with some well-placed stitches.

  Voila! You're finished!
