How do you make a fabric rose?

[ChelseaLou]

Hi,
I have a few crafts in mind that i would love to do! The only problem is
that I am not positive on how to make a fabric rose/flower. Can anyone
help me?

Thanks!
Would love some feedback!

if u get a silky fabric, cut it into circles and with a candle or lighter singe the outside edges and do several layers it looks like a flower

Hey! I´ve learnt how to make this kind of flowers with fabric in this way. You can use any kind of fabric I think. It´s quite easy but the first attempt can be a muddle! Just try 2 or 3 times as a training before doing it for your project.

Take a long piece of fabric and sew a line near one of the edges. You´ll need some fabric left so do not do it too close to the edge.



Then pull the thread and it will start to curl up. When you´re happy with the flower (very open or maybe like a bud) get a knot and make some stitches to join the bottom of the flower. That could be messy! If you´re tired of it just glue it! ^^



I hope it helps! Good luck!

There are lots of fabric flower tutorials around Craftster. Some of these might not be what you're looking for but I think some are.
