I have an origami flower this time to share with you.
I found a wonderful tutorial here at Scraps to Treasure.
I had fun putting this flower together although it did take a little longer than my satin flower.
If I was to do it again I would probably sew through all the petals twice or three times to make it more sturdy. I would also keep a closer watch on my petals. Couldn't believe that I got to the end of sewing the petals together and seemed to be missing a small petal. Could not for the life of me find it anywhere so thought I must have been going mad and cut one less. Of course, the day after having it all constructed I discovered the missing petal. :-(
The centre of the flower I used my scalloped edge circle spellbinders and cut the shape from some pink felt then added this wonderful button.
Wishing you all a great week......so far Monday is looking good here.
OH WOW, it looks awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice the missing petal til you said, really cool technique!
