You must have seen the fabric flower I created in my DIYWaste to Haste attempt- Part 2. Today I will explain you how to make it. There are numerous ways of making fabric flowers. You can search online and you can find hoards of them.
This is a very easy technique and takes juts few minutes if you have everything ready with you. Firstly, you need to decide what kind of fabric you want to make a flower. It can be of any of any kind, light or thick fabric, whichever you prefer.

Here are the things that you will need.

  • Fabric circles cut outs of desired shapes (minimum9 for one flower)
  • A pair of Scissors
  • Needle
  • Thread
  • Extra fabric for base
  • Fabric glue

How to make fabric flower?

  • Firstly cut out a small circle from the extra fabric for the flower’s base. This circle should be smaller than the circle taken for flower.
  • Now take one of the circles cut to make flower and fold it into half. Now fold it as shown in the image.
  • You will get a circular triangle. Now stitch this circle to the fabric base. Stitch four such circular triangle covering the base completely. This will be the first line of the flower.
  • Now make similar circular triangles and stitch it over the joint of 2 circular triangles. Attach four triangles in the second line as well.
  • Remember you don’t have to flatten them. You must keep the petals fluffy so that they look like a flower.
  • Now place the last circle over these two layers and stitch the center part to the base. Now fluff the petals and see your flower is ready.
  • Now you have to hide all the stitches on its back so. Take a fabric circle of the size similar to the base and stick it to the flower’s base using fabric glue. Let it dry.
