No Sew Fabric Flowers

Follow this fabric flower pattern and create a fun embellishment for a plain t-shirt. Use scraps from an old shirt and save money on fabric. There's no need for a needle and thread when you can create these No Sew Fabric Flowers from Tiffany Windsor.


 

Materials:

• Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Peel & Stick Sheets
• T-shirt (new or upcycled from your closet)
• T-shirt scraps (you can use a new t-shirt or cut up and upcycle a t-shirt from your closet)
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Using scrap t-shirt fabric, cut seven (7) black petals for the top layer of each flower. To cut, fold fabric in half lengthwise and cut 1/2 petal shape. Open fabric to to reveal petal shape.
   
   
    
2. Arrange the 7 petals on top of white t-shirt fabric in a flower design.
   
   
    
3. Cut strips of Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Peel & Stick Sheets. Remove paper backing and glue strips on back of each petal. Glue each petal in place on white t-shirt fabric.
   
   
    
4. Roughly cut white t-shirt fabric around black petals to create second layer of flower.
   
   
    
5. Cut strips of Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Peel & Stick Sheets. Remove paper backing and glue strips on back of white flower petals.
   
   
    
6. Remove paper backing and glue second layer of flower to 3rd white layer of fabric. Cut roughly around flower petals.
   
   
    
7. Continue to glue and layer until you have created a 4-layer flower with a 3 layer circle center.
   
   
    
8. Repeat to create remaining flowers in same size or vary sizes if desired. Lay out flowers in desired pattern on t-shirt. Use Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Peel & Stick Sheets to glue flowers onto t-shirt.
   
   
    
9. You are not just limited to a floral design for this technique. Cut and layer other designs for a cool effect! The Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Peel & Stick Sheets are permanent and washable.
