I'd like to apologize in advance for the crappy pictures. My phone doesn't have the best camera.
Materials - Frame, beads, fabric strips, needle and thread. |
Step 1 - Fold a strip of fabric in half. I pinned it in half so I could take better pictures. |
Step 2 - Using a running stitch, sew down the raw edges of the fabric, pulling it tight occasionally to see how much it will curl. |
Step 3 - When it curls into a full circle, stop sewing. |
step 4 - And cut the extra fabric off. |
Step 5 - Sew the ends together so it is held in a circular shape. |
Step 6 - Sew a bead in the center. I used pearl beads(I'm currently in love with pearls and pearl jewelry). |
Step 7 - Create other flowers of different shapes and sizes. I cut slits in one to make it splay out more. |
Step 8 - Figure out how you want the flowers to go on the frame. I was covering up bite marks. |
This is the final outcome. I don't have a picture for it yet, so I drew one of my family :P This is for my mom this mothers' day. |
