1. Any type of silky fabric
2. Lace - a color that compliments your fabric
3. Thread
4. Needle
5. A circle cut out of the diameter you want - I used a 3 and a half inch - but you can make it whatever size you want it!
6. Fabric glue
7. buttons or beads
8. scissors
You are going to cut out your circles out of the fabric - I usually just fold the fabric and cut multiple circles at the same time... but, you can do it however you want. For this project I cut out 6-8 circles out of each type of fabric.
Now you need to thread your needle, put a knot at the end and have your cut outs ready.
Hold your needle like this in your left hand.
With your right hand you are going to fold your circles in half...
And then fold in half again so you have a cone shape...
This is how you will hold your needle and cones as you put them on the needle.
Now, go ahead and push the cone of fabric onto the needle - do not let it go past the needle onto the thread.
This is what your first piece should look like.
As you keep layering you want the layers to slightly overlap each other - it should start to look like this.
When you go through all of your fabric your layers should look like this on your needle. (You can kind of see the needle popping out of the top of this flower...)
Now you pull the entire flower through onto the string...
Now push the needle through the middle again and put on a extra circle on the back. (To give it a more finished look.) Then keep going through the middle front and back until you are satisfied with it being secure. Then on the back, knot it off.
Your flower should now look something like this.
Put a dab of glue on the button or bead and stick it in the middle! And you are finished! =D Congrats!
