I want to share with you the idea of creating artificial flowers from fabric that can decorate your home, clothes, accessories, etc. for a very long time.
In order to do this you will need:
- fabric (any color)
- scissors
- large size circle stencil (can be replaced with a saucer and cup)
- pen or felt-tip pen
- needle
- thread (to match the color of the fabric)
- monofilament (thin fishing line)
- beads
- large bead
First of all, start preparing the petals. They are created from circles. Trace the saucer with a marker or pen. If you have large stencils on hand, use them. For one flower, you need to cut out five circles with a diameter of 16cm and five circles with a diameter of 12cm.
The size can be any, and you can make just one layer of petals. This will not make the flower worse.
Take a large circle and fold it in half.
Fold in half again.
Thread the needle.Start gathering the petal at the base, just like basting. Don't relax the thread. Gently pull off the petal.
Connect all five petals in a circle with each other at the base. The same should be done with petals of smaller diameter. Small petals are laid on large ones and the bases are sewn together so that they do not fall apart.
Then we start creating the core. Take a small piece of fabric. Tie it around the bead. Sew tightly at the base. After that, take a needle with monofilament (in other words, this is a very thin transparent fishing line). Sew beads in several places on the core.
Next, insert the core into the hole between the petals. Sew all the necessary parts together from the inside. Excess tissue from the core can be carefully trimmed. If you do everything correctly, you will get such a wonderful flower.
