This week's finish is a great project because it's so versatile. You can seriously put these on shirts, bags, headbands, and even magnets! AND they are easy-peasy. Introducing: The Twisted Fabric Flower! You can find some different techniques on the fabric flower tutorial here, here, and here.

Basically you need:


  • a hot glue gun (and glue!)
  • a piece of felt for the back- or any other material
  • strips of fabric- I used my leftover scraps from my car seat canopy
Now, there are a bunch of ways to make these flowers, but I chose to tie a knot at the end of my fabric and glue it down to the felt. Then I twisted the fabric and glued it periodically to the felt to keep it secure. When the flower was the size I wanted, I just rolled the rest to the back and covered the felt piece.

{I made each of them a little different. This one got leaves!}


{this one became a magnet- notice the sweet picture of my little girl!}


{and this one turned into a clip}



Seriously SO easy. Now get crafting! And let me know how your flowers turn out!
