Fabric Flowers

I have recently come into possession of a ton of fabric. Maybe you are the same. Or, perhaps you have always had a ton of fabric, and aren't sure what to do with it. Here's an answer! Fabric flowers are super easy, super cute, and a super way to use up fabric scraps!
What you need:
-Fabric. I'm using silk because I have it. Use whatever you want
-Something to trace circles (the size you want your flower)
-Hot glue gun
-Buttons or beads to use for the center
Optional: a few episodes of Star Trek or something fun

1. Cut 5 circles of fabric in the size you want the flower to be. Cut 1 extra circle (#6) a little smaller than the others.
2. Lay one of the large circles down. It will be your base. Fold each of the remaining circles in quarters (in half, then in half again), gluing each one to the base.
3. Put a generous dot of glue in the center, and lay your smaller circle directly on top. I scrunch it around a bit before the glue dries to make it look more organic and leave a dimple for the center.
4. glue on your center piece, and voila! A perfectly sweet little flower

Extra: I got some hair clips to put the flowers on, and I found it's best to back the flower with a piece of felt or cotton before attaching to the barrette.
Other things you could make:
-flower wreath
-pin/brooch
-flower crown
-cuff bracelet
-attach smaller ones to bobby pins
-perhaps a mobile.

Would you like to see me attempt any more of the above? Let me know! I will brave the great unknown for you.
