hese are a bit fiddly to make but they are so cute. You can do almost anything with them from

hair pins to rings to necklaces to jacket/hat pins. And you can use up that bit of scrap fabric you

can't bare to part with for that perfect project. Well you just found it. It looks like a long tutorial,

but I've tried to get every step in there and as clear as possible. You can see more pretty flowers

on my blog :www.theaftercraft.blogspot.com/

Instructions 

1. 1

Before you begin you want to starch your fabric.

If you don't have access to this you can use fabric interfacing as well.

2. 2

Pick out your scrap fabric.

3. 3

Cut out your squares. Any size really will do.

Mine were about 2 inch wide so I decided to use 6 petals, but you can use 5 or if you want use

more just your petals won't be as open when you're finished.

4. 4

fold in half

5. 5

 originally saw this project on Martha Stewart online. I tweaked it a little bit and I added pictures

and more description to the project. This is my first how-to project on here, so I hope you find it

helpful. I realize that I put a lot of steps that most people will think are "no brainers," but I did not

want to assume that people would know what to do. Once you have made a few flowers, you'll

automatically do the steps without thinking about it. If you have any questions, let me know.

Instructions 

1. 1

Gather your materials: 

1. hot-glue gun and hot-glue sticks 

2. scissors 

3. newspaper (so the hot-glue doesn't ruin your table) 

3. zipper (ideally, you want a 36-inch zipper, but a 30-inch one will do the trick; make sure it is

not much smaller or else you will run out of zipper)

I bought my zippers from JoAnn Fabrics and I used competitor coupons. I called and asked the

store if I could do this before I came in, and that came in handy when the cashier was not sure

about what the competitor coupons could be used on. I recommend you call your JoAnn store

before shopping there. I found a good website for zippers, too, but I haven't shopped there yet:

http://www.zipperstop.com/

2. 2

Take the price tag off. Unzip the zipper down towards the bottom. The zipper pull should

become free from one side, but still remain attached to the other, as shown.

3. 3

Cut off the plastic zipper stops from each end and slide the zipper pull off of the end it was

attached.

4. 4

Once you've done that to both sides, this is what you should have.

5. 5

The opposite end of the zipper (the end opposite of the one you just cut off) will have a longer

piece of fabric. Dab some glue on this section.

6. 6

Fold the end over onto the glue. Press it with your fingers, but be careful not to burn yourself.

7. 7

Put some more glue next to this fold.

8. 8

Roll the fabric over. This will be the center of the flower. Press down to secure the fabric in

place. Be careful not to burn yourself from the hot-glue.

9. 9

Place a dab of glue further away, about an inch or two. The center of your flower (shown on the

right side of the picture) will need to be folded onto this dot of glue.

10. 10

When you fold the center of the flower onto this dot of glue, a small loop will have been made.

In this picture, you can see the small gap that the loop has made in between the center of the

flower and the loop you made.

11. 11

Do this step again so you have one loop on each side of the center part of the flower. It should

start to look sort of like an oval.

12. 12

Dab some more hot-glue an inch or two away from your oval-y loop.

13. 13

Take your oval-y loop and twist it then stick it directly on top of the dab of glue. The zipper

should be perpendicular to the oval-y loops you made.

14. 14

This is what the bottom of your flower should look like now. You can see that now, instead of

looking like a sushi roll, it has a flat back.

15. 15

Keep dabbing glue and twisting the zipper to form loops around the center of the flower. These

will be your petals.

16. 16

Just before your last petal is made, this is what your flower should look like. The long tail will

make up your last petal.

17. 17

Turn your flower over and dab some hot-glue in the center.

18. 18

Take the tail, twist it to make a petal, and secure it to the underside of the flower, where you

put the glue. Press down to secure it, but make sure you don't burn your fingers.

19. 19

Cut of the extra leftover tail so you can't see it sticking out underneath the flower. If you want

to, you can use Fray Check to stop the zipper fabric from fraying. Or you can carefully pass the

end (frayed part) quickly back and forth through the flame of a lighter, but be careful.

20. 20

You're all done! If you want to attach your flower to something, you can add felt or fabric to the

underside and then attach that to whatever you want (headband, pin, blouse, gift wrapping,

etc.).

You can also use different kinds of zippers to create your own unique look. I picked zippers with

plastic zipper teeth because they were less expensive, but you can pick zippers with metal

teeth. That gives the flower a harder edge to it, which contrasts nicely with the organic shape

of the flower.

Instructions 

1. 1

Gather supplies:

2. 2

With thre right side down, place a glue dot on the tip of one of the ends. Stick together oposite

ends so that you are left with a triangle. Now that you have the right side of the fabric on top,

place a dot of glue on the corner that had glue before.

3. 3

Now fold the left corner until the tip is glued to the bottom tip. Place a dot of glue over this

union.

4. 4

Fold the Right corner so the tip get glued to the bottom tip.

5. 5

Secure with a clothes pin until the glue dries.

6. 6

Turn it around and place a tip of glue on the right and left corners.

7. 7

Fold the tips to the center and press.

8. 8

Now fold the fabric by the middle...

9. 9

as shown.

10. 10

Secure it with the Clothes Pin until it dries.

11. 11

Cut the tip off the petal, make sure its straight!

12. 12

Dab some glue on the freshly cut side...

13. 13

and press it together with the clothes pin.

14. 14

Repeat steps 1- 11 untill you have enough petals to make a flower. When you do, cut out a

circle of the backing material of your choice. I used green craft felt.

15. 15

Shape the petals with your fingers until they look good. Please make sure the glue is dry by

then or they will unfold. Turn each petal around and place a dot of glue on the bottom. In this

step I used hot glue to save time.

16. 16

Add a button on the center or any embelishments you like. These flowers can be worn on

anything. I glue this one to a head band. I made soem felt leaves to add more color:D

17. 17

Now time to rock my new hair piece!
