These beautiful flowers are made out of fabrics and they are super easy to make even for beginners! You can use any type of fabric that you want, you can even use scraps if that’s what you have. Give this as a gift, use it as decoration, use it for another sewing project, or sell it. Learn how to do this easily with this video tutorial by Love Carlos on YouTube.
Materials:
- Fabric
- Marking pen
- Round and flat object
- Scissors
- Iron, for pressing
- Needle and thread
- Buttons
Directions:
Step 1
Lay a fabric, then place a round and flat object on top, and trace its shape onto the fabric. Cut out the shape and create 6 pieces, get one circle fabric, then fold it in half, press nicely, fold it down again in half, and press again. Repeat this step to the rest of the fabric pieces. Take 1 quartered circle fabric, then begin sewing the wide bottom starting from the opposite end of the fold, and gather the bottom nicely. Push the piece but not all the way down the thread, take another piece and sew using the same needle and thread set, and continue sewing the rest of the petal pieces.

Step 2
Once you’ve gathered all of the petal pieces on a single thread, push them towards each other closely, then pull both ends of the thread until they form a flower, and tie them with a knot several times to secure. Cut the excess tail leaving the other end of the thread with the needle intact, using the same needle, sew a button at the center of the petals, then flip the flower over, and sew a button on the other side as well. You’re all done, now you can make more fabric flowers!
