DIY Fabric Flowers: Pretty flowers to make

Fabric flowers have so many uses. Attach them to hair clips, brooch backs and even necklaces. These round petal DIY fabric flowers will only take you a few minutes to make and are easy for even beginners.

DIY Fabric Flowers: The Video

Please watch this 2-minute video on making these flowers. You will see just how easy it is.

DIY Fabric Flowers: Supplies

  • 6 circles of fabric. As a general rule, the flowers end up the same finished diameter as your circles. So a 3 inch (7.5cm) diameter circle will result in a 3 inch finished flower.
  • Thick thread and a hand needle. I like to use upholstery thread.
  • Buttons or beads to decorate
  • 1 inch felt or fabric circle for the back
  • Hot glue gun to attach the felt and buttons

DIY Fabric Flowers: Instructions

Step 1: Press

Press your circles in half with WRONG sides together

Step 2: Stitch

Using a small running stitch (up and down stitch), sew around the curved raw edges of your semi-circle.

Step 3: Pull

Pull the thread through and gather up the petal. Leave a 3 inch (7.5cm) tail of thread that you can use later to knot off.

Step 4: Repeat 

Repeat for the other petals. If your fabric is really thick you may find that you only need 5 petals instead of the 6.

Step 5: Tie

Pull tight and tie the ends of the thread in a double knot. Knot again just to doubly make sure it won’t come undone.

Step 6: Glue

Glue your felt circle on the back of the flower to hide the messy center.

Step 7: Finish

Glue a bead or button to the front of the flower. Buttons with a shank work well as you can nestle it in the hole in the middle.
