You Will Need (6 things)

  • cheap Fabric Flower
  • Fabric of your choice
  • (optional) Modelling Clay
  • (optional) Button(s)
  • (optional) Feather(s)
  • (optional) Ribbon

Steps (5 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    Remove one of the heads from your flowers. This usually has to be done with wire cutters. (or you could leave them on the stem if you wish!)

  2. 2

    Take apart the head of the flower. This can usually be done by tugging on the plastic parts on either side, you may need to be forceful but DO NOT DAMAGE ANY OF THE PARTS!!

  3. 3

    Use the fabric parts of the flower to cut out new copies in the fabric of your choice. Or if you feel adventurous make up your own flower design!

  4. 4

    Make sure you remember to cut small holes in the middle of your flowers!

  5. 5

    Put the flower back together using the new petals. You could add ribbon, feathers, net etc. anything you like at this stage. You could also change the middle part of the flower for a button, bead or you could follow Mi.ezekatze's skull flower project
