Denim Flower Tutorial

Hello there! So here is my first tutorial inspired by Prudent Baby. (Awesome site by the way, explore it!). In the Prudent Baby tutorial, the author uses a different fabric but pretty much the same technique as I used. So here we go!

Supplies:
-Denim Fabric
-Scissors
-Hot Glue Gun with Glue
and that's it! This is a great project to use old scraps of fabric or recycled clothing. In this tutorial I used an old pair of Danny's jeans.

Step 1: Assemble all your supplies. Cut a strip fabric to desired width and length. My fabric ended up being about 1 1/2 inches wide and 16 inches long, roughly (I didn't measure).

Step 2: Start at which ever end you like and begin to roll your fabric. I used a flat surface at first until it was sturdy enough to hold between my fingers.



Step 3: While holding the started roll between your fingers, use your other hand to start twisting the other end of the fabric. Wrap, while twisting, the fabric around the roll.

Step 4: Keep wrapping until you run out of fabric. Use your hot glue gun to place a small dab of glue on the end of your fabric and press it on to your rolled flower to keep it in place. It should now look like a flower! Mine ended up having a stem but don't worry about that, we will deal with that later.

Step 5: We now need to make the bottom to keep the flower secure. Cut a circular piece of fabric, a little smaller than your flower. I placed my flower on my fabric to measure it.

Step 6: Cut the "stem" off your flower. Use your hot glue gun and cover the circular piece of your fabric in hot glue. Press on to the Bottom of your flower firmly and you are done!

I made two of these in different sizes and placed on a headband for my co worker's baby girl :)

Enjoy making your fabric flowers and thanks for reading! Stop by soon for more tutorials and fun ideas!
