  Step 1

  Draw and cut petal shapes. Start with around 40 petal but you may need more or less for different sized hoops.

• 

  Step 2

  Paint one side of each petal individually. I would recommend two light coats of colour and fade the colour towards the tip of the petal.

• 

  Step 3

  Using one strand of embroidery thread stitch the petal detailing. They can all vary in design and they don't need to be perfectly stitched. Note that I have folded each petal slightly to create a better 3d effect.

• 

  Step 4

  rrange four petals onto your fabric and stitch into place.

• 

  Step 5

  Keep layering flowers until you have covered your fabric or are happy with how it looks - you can add more or less to suit your own taste.

• 

  Step 6

  Finish off the back with either backing felt or do as I have done and slot in a piece of cardboard. If you prefer you can cover the cardboard in decorative paper but I liked how this looked so left it plain. Attach a piece of ribbon or string to the top of the hoop and hang proudly in your home.
