I love making these things, although it's been a few months I got the chance to sit down today and pump out a few and decided to take a few photos to show how these ones are made.
Oh.. and I also needed some to send to a show next week.. a little motivation right?

You Will Need
-
Step 1Pick your fabric cotton is best. If you use batiks remember to get a sharp needle since the weave tends to be tighter than regular quilters cotton.
-
Step 2I like to starch my fabric to give nice crisp edges, although this isn't necessary, I do recommend it highly.
-
Step 3Find a circle template. I use the tops for mason jars. For my small flowers about 2 3/4 of an inch across and the larger flowers I make about 3 1/4 across.
FYI:
The size of your template is approx the same width of your finished flower. -
Step 4Draw out circles for your petals. Small flowers I like 8-10 petals and larges ones I like about 12 for nice fullness.
-
Step 5Cut them out
-
Step 6Fold circle in half and use your finger to press or an iron.
-
Step 7Then half again and again finger press or use an iron.
-
Step 8Find the middle, I like to pinch the middle or fold in half to find the center.
-
Step 9Fold the side up to meet the middle.
-
Step 10and same repeat on the other side.
-
Step 11Take your needle and thread and thread near the edge of the petal.
-
Step 12Do the same to all your petals till they are all on the string.
-
Step 13Pull nice and tight...
-
Step 14and tie a knot and clip your threads.
-
Step 15Using your hot glue gun pump some into the center of your flower.
-
Step 16Put your button of choice and glue in place.
-
Step 17Cut out 2 round circles and glue one to the back of your flower and glue your pin in place.
-
Step 18For added security glue your second felt circle down...
-
Step 19on top of the pin to hold it in place.
-
Step 20aaaaaaaand TA-DA!
