DIY: Fabric Flowers

Remember those handmade fabric flowers from Jordan and Molly's rehearsal dinner? They are easy to make! Here is how.

What you'll need:
Thin fabric of different colors. Tulle works well mixed in.
Scissors
Paper circle patterns of different sizes
buttons
needle and thread
candle

Step 1.
Cut out different sizes and colors of fabric.

Step 2.
Singe the edges of the fabric circles over a candle or lighter. Be careful, it can burn your fingers if you get too close, or catch the fabric on fire or melt it if it gets too close! You just want to make the edges of the fabric curl slightly.

Step 3.
Layer different sizes and colors of circles on top of one another. Place a button in the middle and sew them together through the center of the button. You can get creative and place several button in the center as well, or stack the buttons.




These can be made into pins to wear on sweaters, blouses, and dresses.





They can also be used in floral arrangements and centerpieces like we used them in the pictures below.



They can even be put on pins and worn in your hair, or you can put several together on a headband and wear them that way.

Hope you enjoy making some fun fabric flowers!
