Fabric flowers can be quickly made from small pieces of fabric, and add a special touch to a gift box. If you add a brooch back to the rear side of the flower, it can also be used as a brooch to add some colour to your favourite cardigan or handbag.
I am really loving the combination of yellow and grey at the moment, so raided my fabric scraps to find four yellow and four grey fabrics.
Supplies:
- felt circle – 3 inches in diameter
- 4 fabric circles – 3 inches in diameter
- 4 fabric circles – 2 inches in diameter
- 2 co-ordinating buttons – one small, one medium
- brooch clasp
- needle and thread

I love this done with different fabrics. I have previously made these flowers with one colour of felt and made them into brooches, have to have a go at them this way.

Have a wonderful weekend,

What a great scrap buster, and a lovely way to dress up plain wrapping paper. You could make mini versions for little girl hair clips too. Lovely tutorial, thanks!

this looks like one of the easiest tutorials i’ve seen and thank you so much for mentioning your Accuquilt Go Cutter. last year when i was planning my wedding, i could have really used one of those but unfortunately online descriptions didn’t really tell me if they could do different sizes as i needed. i still need an easier faster way to cut fabric circles so this has been *very* informative! and talk about cute!!! <3 this!
