Leatherette flower

Useful and interesting 11 080 0

Surely in any home there will be some “supplies” (pieces of fabric, leather) that are a pity to throw away and difficult to find a use for. But, as they say, if you have the desire and a little imagination, you can always create “something” out of “nothing,” if not useful, then at least pleasing to the eye. For example, in my house there were small remains of leatherette (the door was once sheathed) and I decided to make flowers from them. Join us!

To construct the flower, I needed the following: a small piece of leatherette, scissors, threads in the color of leatherette, a cardboard template in the shape of a petal and a button (for the middle of the flower).

Armed with such simple objects, I begin needlework:
Using a template, I draw five petals and one small circle on leatherette.
I cut out the drawn figures.

Using a thread and a needle, I string the bottom edge of each of the five petals, placing them one on top of the other.
Then, turning the strung petals over, I tighten the thread tightly and tie it into 2-3 knots (so as not to unravel).
I turn over and straighten the petals.

Next, I thread a thread and a needle through the center of the circle (from the wrong side), then through the middle of the flower, and sew on a button as its center.

The result was quite an interesting flower made from improvised materials.
And if you attach a pin to the underside of the flower, you can use the fruit of my labors as a brooch.
