Fabric Flower Tutorial

I am absolutely in love with the Close to My Heart Textile fabrics. I have played with Chantilly and will be order For Always next time I place an order.

Today I am using strips of fabric to create fabric flowers. Here is the final product:



To create the flower I started with my liquid glass, an approximately 1 1/2" strip of fabric and a small piece of scrap paper.




I first folded my fabric in half length wise, wrong sides together. I then applied a generous amount of liquid glass to the scrap paper. Then I started rolling. Your hands will get messy and you will use LOTS of liquid glass, but the result is worth it.



I just rolled it up like a coil until I was happy with the size and then cut the fabric and used the remaining fabric to create a smaller flower.


This type of flower is very forgiving and you can place a button in the middle to cover any imperfections.

Welcome to the 7th stop on your Art Philosophy Blog Hop Adventure. If you are here from Connie's Crafty Closet  then you are in the right place, if not, please go and start from the beginning at http:// www.creatingwithcourtney.blogsp ot.com . Here is the Teacher Appreciation Gifts I created with my Art Philosophy Cartridge: The Post it Note Holder is made from an acrylic frame and I used Typeset along with the stamp set "Notice the Details". I left the card blank thinking it would be a great place for the student to write a note. Candy Candy Bar Wrapper (minus the candy bar!) also uses Typeset paper and "A Little Thanks" Stamp Set. Finally, there is a 3x3 card using Typeset and a CTMH wooden button. This will also be used as part of a workshop on Tuesday May 8th from 6:30-8:30. We will also be creating a card set.

I then sanded the edges of them with a CTMH sanding block. Finally, I used a rose from the Art Ph
