To make these fabric flowers you will need: fabric remnants, needle and thread, tulle, scissors, and Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
Cut a strip of fabric about 1/2 inch wide and 12-15 inches long. Just wing it! These are rustic, shabby chic flowers!
See how non-straight this strip is cut? And, yes non-straight is a technical crafting term.
Using the needle and thread make a running stitch along one of the long edges of the fabric.
Pull the thread to ruffle the fabric.
Then roll the fabric on itself and glue. I used Helmar 450 Quick dry Adhesive.
My mom's old broach made the perfect center for the flower.

I made several different kinds using different fabric and laces. I am making the flowers to go on a tea bag dispenser that I will make soon. Trying to decide on the right size and style.
While this is my last post as a member of the design team, perhaps I can share the tea bag dispenser or another project with you as a guest designer. Of course, I plan to use Helmar Craft Glue and 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. The glues have definitely been a nice addition to my crafting experiments.
Happy crafting! Tina, from Dela-WHERE?
