Instructions for Making Fabric Flowers
You will come across a wide range of fabric flower patterns from online resources. However, if you know the technique of making them at home, then you can easily create decorative flowers by yourself. Check out the details.
- You will require the following materials for sewing in a satin rose for your apparel, viz., synthetic cloth or chiffon fabric, seed beads, needle, thread, and candle.
- Cut the fabric in the shape of rose petals. Make enough pieces to create a dense cluster. The petals will be almost circular in shape. The petals that will be placed at the center should be smaller than the outer ones.
- Now hold each petal over the flame of the candle and allow the edges to melt. You will find that the edges have curled and have become stiff. Make sure the fabric doesn't catch fire.
- Paste/sew the smaller petals closely. This will form the center of the rose. Keep attaching the petals one after another to form a cluster like a rose.
- Once you have made the flower, you can attach a clip at the base of the flower to secure it on your dress, bands or sandal straps. You can also make a bouquet from different types of fabric flowers and arrange them beautifully in a flower vase.
- You will require a card stock, chalk, thread, sewing needle, chiffon fabric, glue, and scissors. In this process you have to cut out patterns of different flowers and then glue into the card stocks.
- First draw the outline of the flower on the chiffon fabric. Sketch the flower with the chalk.
- Cut the outline with the help of scissors to make the flowers. Your flower pattern will be simple (round/square petal) when you are pasting the fabric on a card stock mold.
- Now paste the petals on the card mold or sew in with a sharp needle. Crop the uneven corners of the card with a scissor to get the exact shape of the flower. Follow the same technique to add leaves and stem to the flower.
- Utilize the same process to sew in flowers over fabric garment. This way you can add a traditional touch to your apparel.
