How to Make Fabric Flowers

Anyone who sews knows that you end up with a ton of scrap fabric. If you’re like me, you save every bit in giant bins telling yourself “Oh, I’ll make use of it someday”. Well, that day has come…These fabric flowers are a great scrap busting project! They’re fun to make and they can be used for so many different things. Here are a few ideas

  • Glue to twigs for a pretty display that won’t wilt (like I did above)
  •   Use a decorations when wrapping presents
  •  Tie them on to a grapevine wreath
  • String them together to make garland

Supplies
Clover Flower Frills Template
Needle & thread
Scrap fabric (cotton or silk is best- lightweight & crisp, nothing thick or heavy)
