Gathered Fabric Flower DIY

My new favorite fabric flower making technique.

  

Materials Needed:

Fabric (I used lace)
Matching thread
Needle

Beads

Step One:

Cut out a circle. (It can be any size. Mine is about 4' in diameter.)

Step Two:

Sew a running stitch around the outside edge.

Step Three:

Pull on both ends of the thread to gather the circle.

 

Step Four:

Tie a knot, and push the outer edge into the inside of the flower.

Step Five:

Sew beads into the center.

Ta-da! So simple. 

These romantic blooms can be used in a variety of ways. I grouped mine with two other flowers and added an alligator clip to the back, using felt.

Darling.
