Make a flower Friday

One of my favorite things to do lately is to make fabric flowers. There are a number of ways to make them, and they are an easy and pretty way to embellish a page or project.

There are only two materials necessary to make today's flower; a strip of fabric and a large circle of glue (I used a gluber from Cosmo Cricket)

The glubers have a protective plastic sheet over them, you will want to cut away the dot you want to use and then peel off the protective sheet.










First you will want to tie a knot at one end of your fabric, and place it down in the center of your gluber.

Next, you will want to wrap the fabric into a spiral and place it around the knot, leaving no spaces. Keep wrapping the fabric and sticking down onto the gluber.


When you are ready to finish your flower off, tuck the end of the fabric underneath the last row of twisted fabric, and stick down. Cut off your end close to the flower.





To adhere to your project, just trim off any excess glue that wasn't used and peel off the backing of the flower. Stick down to your project and you are done! I used Ranger's Copper Perfect Pearls mist, and Vintage Photo Distress Ink to age my flower a bit, and then used it on this tag:



Everything I used to make this tag is sold by Cropsy Turvy, so let us know if you need any of these materials, or stop by and see us at one of the upcoming crops that we'll have a vendor booth with. Thanks for stopping by!
