  Step 1

  Cut out a length of fabric, I didnt really measure, it can be as thick or thin as you want it to within reason :)

  I'd say 2 -3 inches thick is just dandy

• 

  Step 2

  Fold your fabric in half.

  This is kind of odd - very optional:
  I flat ironed it down to make it neat & have a crease.

• 

  Step 3

  roll a bit together to make the center & glue it to keep it together after a few rolls.

• 

  Step 4

  Take the fabric and twist it, but not too tight.
  Gluing regularly as you go along to the sides.

  Twist twist - glue. Twist twist - glue.

  o-o i duno if that makes sense

• 

  Step 5

  After a while - it should look like this.

• 

  Step 6

  Keep going - and glue the remainder down on the back like so.

  Glue any loose spots that you see

• 

  Step 7

  Optional: glue a little bit of ribbon to make an accent piece.

• 

  Step 8

  Glue a circle of scrap felt to support the flower & cover up the uglies :P

• 

  Step 9

  Glue your clip or pin piece to the the circle of felt using a smaller piece of felt.

  And you're all done :D!
