Flower Pin Tutorial

This project is quick and easy and makes a great gift.  It was the take home project for my Cross Body Bag class.  It only takes a small amount of fabric and a few other supplies.

You will need the following supplies:
     2 small pieces of coordinating fabric
     Button
     Needle and Thread
     The flower shape patterns -  Download them here Flower Pattern
     2 1/2" circle of felt
     Pin Back
     Glue

Start by selecting which fabric will be your large and small flowers and which fabric will be your medium flower.  Then trace around the patterns on the backside of the fabric and cut out the flowers.

The large and small flowers are cut from one fabric.
The medium flower is cut from the other fabric.

Then place your large flower face up on the counter.  Layer your medium flower next and then the small flower on top of the stack.

Large flower on bottom right side up.
Then layer the medium flower right side up on top of large flower

Finish stack by placing the small flower right side up on top of the others.

Next you will place your button in the center of the stack and sew it place through all the layers.

After your button is secure. Turn your flower over face down.  Place the felt circle in the middle of the back and glue in place.

Glue the felt piece in the center of the back of the flower stack.

Now you are ready to glue the pin back in place on top of the felt.  Be sure to put the pin back toward the top of the flower so it will hang better.

Glue your pin back toward the top of the flower.

Now your flower is complete and ready to add a fun embellishment to an outfit or the cross body bag.

Hope you enjoy making these flowers.  I would love to see your work, so post a picture of your flower in the comments for all to see.
