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.

I created a large centerpiece to be used as a giveaway for a Vendor Show I have tomorrow. I used the pumpkin on page 71 (accent 1) and fit to page. I cut out a third pumpkin to give it more dimension. I then used the 3D shift feature on the same page to cut 3 leaves. They are 5", 4 1/2" and 4". I then sanded the edges of them with a CTMH sanding block. Finally, I used a rose from the Art Ph
