Fabric flowers are fun!

I have a lot of scrap fabric and was in need of something to do with it, so I've been looking online for fabric flower tutes to try. Here are a few of the ones I made based on what I found...

This one is actually made from a template I found at Yoonie at Home. I just made a couple of the petals and then sewed a button in the middle and glued it all on a felt circle and attached it to a lined alligator clip.

This one is huge! I cut 18 circles that I made by tracing a roll of packaging tape (high tech, baby!), then I started on the outside of a large felt circle and worked my way in, folding each circle in half and stitching it near the crease. A few buttons in the center and, voila! You have a big honkin' flower that cab be clipped or pinned to just about anything!

This is just a ribbon flower that I saw somewhere and wanted to try. I used 3/8" ribbon and a scrapbooking brad in the center. It's sewn together on one continuous strand and tied. I glued the brad into the center and used wire snips to trim the part of the brad that stuck out of the back of the flower.
