You'll need a strip of fabric, needle and thread, scissors, button and a pin back (can also use a large safety pin).
Pick out some fabric you like which frays really easy. Depending upon how big and thick you want your flower, cut a strip of the fabric. Mine is 1 inch wide and 44 inches long. If you want your flower smaller, don't cut it as long or as wide.
