Fabric Flower

Do you have a bunch of scrap fabric that you don't know what to do with? This is the perfect craft to use 'em up! 

Supplies Needed:

• Needle
• Thread
• Fabric
• Scissors 

1. Cut 8 3"x3" pieces out of your fabric (or various fabrics) 

2. Fold each piece in half and then in half again...

3. While holding the fold of each piece, cut the corner into a rough looking heart shape (I went ahead and did all 8 pieces so they were ready for me and I felt like that really sped the process along!)

4. Thread your needle with thread (you don't use very much). Pick up your first piece of fabric. Holding it at its corner, sew through the corners a few times. DO NOT knot the thread after. 

5. Grab your next piece of fabric, and thread your needle through that piece and your original piece a couple of times. Again, DO NOT knot the thread afterwards.

6. Keep repeating this process until all 8 pieces are sewed together. 

7. NOW, you may tie your thread off to keep all of the pieces together. 

8. As you let go of the corners, you'll see how all of the pieces are now together, but... it needs a little help becoming a flower. Begin "fluffing" up your pieces and spreading them outward. Oooo look at that flower grow! And just like that, your flower is formed and ready for whatever you wish to use it for! 

​(Side note: the fabric I used are actually pieces of my Papaw's flannel shirts - he passed a couple of years ago. I plan to use my flowers for wedding decorations/bouquets whenever that happens... cough, cough! ...That way he'll be with us on our special day.)
