Materials:

• Fabric
• Straight pins
• Scissors
• Thread and needle
• Repositionable glue
• Pattern if needed

Instructions:

1. Create a pattern for your flower out of heavy card stock or just cut out a flower shape free hand. Cut several pieces and keep in mind they don’t have to be perfect or even symmetrical.
    
2. Layer four or five on top of each other. Grab the center of ALL of them and twist. Using your needle and thread secure the point.
    
3. Once secure you can add beads to the center of the flower. More pieces of fabric will create a full flower while only 2 or 3 will make your flower lay more flat.
    
4. Decide how you want to attach your flowerete. You can use a needle and thread or repositionable glue.
