Tiddly Tutorial Thursday - Fabric flowers

Hi everyone. It is thursday and that means we have a new Tiddly Tutorial Thursday for you. This week I (Larissa) am going to show you how you can make fabric flowers. I hope you will enjoy the tutorial.


To make these flowers you have to use a fabric that is not too thick. You have to cut a circle out of the fabric ( I have used a nestabiltie as a guide to cut my circle). Then you have to stitch on the edge with thin thread. Don't go to close to the edge!


If you have stitched all around the edge, you have to take the 2 threads in your hands (actually these are my mums hands :) ) and carefully pull on the thread.

More pulling..... 


You have to pull until the middle looks like this and then you can make a knot in your thread. Your flower is almost ready.



Decorate your flower with a button or anything else that you want to use.


 I have used a bigger circle (9,5 cm) to create a bigger flower to add on the top of my box.

 On my card I used a smaller circle (7 cm)

Well I hope you enjoyed the tutorial! Maybe you can use this tutorial to create a flower so you can enter a card in our Fabric invasion challenge where we want you to use fabric on your cards. :)
