This is the website where I found tutorial, but mostly used it for approximate measurements of fabric and experimented with a variety of folding/twisting/glue-gunning methods. It worked out pretty well, I have a few ideas for where to use these little flowers: on a pin or a head band, for a little something extra on a wrapped present. I'm sure there are more.
My crafting stations:
 |
| Coffee, music, glue gun and fabric |
 |
| Iron and ironing board set up on the stove, not quite ideal but it works |
After a few glue gunning incidents (my fingers getting stuck to EVERYTHING) I got the hang of the folding/twisting/gluing and managed to make some decent looking flowers:
 |
| My first three (left to right) can you see the improvement? |
 |
| Overexposed end product |
 |
| Slightly underexposed...I'm working on it |
Since I didn't have the pins on hand to make something you can pin on a coat OR a headband I went with fake flowers. I just took skewers and stuck them into the bottom of the flower...tada!
beautiful! I may have to try these on a headband since headbands are my personal favourite accessory!
