Materials

• Scissors
• Needle
• Thread
• Fabric scraps
• Something circular to make a template (cotton reel, ribbon spool)
• Yarn or embroidery thread for stringing the garland

Step 1

Use the spool of thread to trace a circle. Then cut the circles out. Cut as many as you want

Step 2

Take one circle and fold it in half and then take the half circle and fold it in half again

Step 3

Then take your circle and stitch through the bottom. Continue this step, adding at least 6 circles on top of the first

Step 4

The more circles you add the fuller your flower will be. However the density of the fabric will alter this. Felt and mid weight cotton will only require 7-9 pieces, chiffons may require 12 or more

Step 5

Once you have sewn all circles, connect the petals together by stitching through each one at the corner and then tying off the tread with a double knot

Step 6

Cut 2.5 – 3 metres of yarn or embroidery thread and add on the flowers one by one. I spaced my flowers 10cm apart and secured them in place with a knot before stringing and after stringing so they wouldn’t slide around

Step 7

Hang over a doorway, window, on your Christmas tree or on your table
