Fabric flowers from 2" circles
Begin by cutting five 2" circles from fabric using the Fiskars circle cutter.
Fold the circle in half. Thread a needle then tie a knot at the end of the threads. Sew a running/gathering stitch along the curved edge. Begin and end on the same side.
Gather up to form a petal, leave the petal on the thread.
Repeat for all five petals.
Sew the first petal to the last at the gathering point to secure then knot and cut off thread.
Add a button or bead to the centre. Glue a small circle of felt to the back then add a brooch back to the felt.
For the other flower, cut seven 2" flowers in the same way as before. Fold the circle in half then fold a third of the half circle towards you as shown below.
Fold the last third away form you as shown below.
Thread a needle as for the last flower and tie a knot at the end. Sew through the point then leave on the thread.
Repeat for all seven petals.
Sew the first petal to the last then secure with a couple of knots.
Stitch a bead or button to the centre. Glue a small circle of felt to the back then add a brooch back to the felt.
