As promised, here is the tutorial for the flower choker that I was showing some days ago.
I make the chokers mostly with felt because it does not fray, allowing it to look nice and to get done easy and very fast, and they have felt in many nice colors
So here we go:
1. Cut little squares of felt. I used here 2 inches squares. Use more or less squares depending on the number of petals you want to have. Here I used 8.
2. Take a square, take the right and left corners and bring them to the front, in other words, fold slightly the square on the middle (do not mark the fold).
3. Now take the corners and bring fold them to the back
4. Now cut the remaining felt to make a clean cut on the bottom
5. By now iit will be looking like this:
6. Sew the petal with a very simple stitch, just enough to keep it on shape
7. Continue steps 2 to 5 with all the squares. At the end you will have all the little lose petals and they are ready to be sewn together...
Once all petals are ready, sew them together with simple small stitches at the bottom
8. Now the flower is ready! at this point you can fix a little the petals with your fingers to make
them look nicer...
9. It is time to attach the flower to the choker. For the choker you can use
a piece of felt, a ribbon, an organza ribbon or whatever you feel like. I used a kind of vinyl
ribbon that I had and used velcro at the back to open it and close it. I attached it with simple stitches.
And now embellish the flower: glue somethig to the center of the flower. I used a glue gun and
attached a little plastic brown marble, but you can add whatever: buttons, sequins, beads, fabric...
10. And ready! This is how the choker looks like. The blue one is made with another fabric (a fraying one)
but it was moree time-consuming to make, I prefer the ones with felt
Hope that I was clear enough and that you understand my english. Feel free to ask is something is not very clear
