I have been a fan of the fabric flower for a long time. I have yet to make one. But I’m glad that Stephanie from Somewhat Simple is here to show us her version of fabric flower on a headband. Perfect for me because I bought some headbands around Christmas time and they are still sitting in my craft closet. This is what Stephanie simply said…
Hello! My name is Stephanie and I am so excited to be here today! I just love Tiffany and her blog- it is so fresh and fun here, isn’t it?!
My little corner of cyberspace is called somewhat simple, and it is the perfect place for me to share with the world my creative side.
The tutorial I have for you today is my take on a very popular item right now- fabric flowers! These are so easy and so fun to make. You cannot mess them up. There are a million ways to make them, but here is how I make them.
Supplies:
- Scissors
- needle and thread
- glue gun
- button
- headband
- 1 piece of rectangular fabric, approx. 1/2 inch by 1 inch
- 6 fabric circles, 2 large and 4 small
*You can use any size circles you want, just make sure you have 2 of the same size for the larger circles and 4 of the same size that are smaller. You can use all the same fabric, but for this I am using denim for the large circles and a cute print for the smaller ones.
Ok, here is a video I made to show you how to assemble your flower- it’s easy, easy, easy.
Once you stitch your petals and your button in the center, you get to decide what to do with this pretty little flower. I decided to make some headbands. Here is one more video of me showing you the easiest way I found to attach your flower to a plastic headband.
You can find headbands super cheap at Wal-Mart (4 for $1) and also the dollar store. No need to spend a ton.
Thanks so much for letting me visit today! I’d love for all of you to come and say hello over at somewhat simple! If you come today you can join in the fun of our “Strut Your Stuff Link Party”. Come show off your latest creation and enter to win an awesome prize each and every Thursday!!
Thanks for having me, Tiffany! I love it here!
Steph
