Halloween fabric flowers.

I have been wanting to do this craft for months now. I think I found it back in February and I wanted to do it then, I even bought valentines fabric for it. I never got around to it. But then this miracle happened on Saturday, my husband took my kids out for the morning so I could do whatever I wanted. And what I wanted to do was make some fabric flowers for Halloween. Luckily I had  some fabric on hand so I didn’t have to go buy any. That made this project FREE! I love free.
Find out how after the cut!
What you need
Fabric of choice, 1 flower takes a strip of fabric 5 inches wide 45 inches long. I made some of mine shorter. The gray flowers are only 20 inches long.
Thread.
Stems, I used sticks from my back yard.
Vase.
hot glue gun.
Project time: about 2 hours for 12 flowers.
Instructions:
1. cut your strips of fabric, 5 inches wide by 45 inches long. You can cut them differently if you like this is just a guide, Some of mine were skinnier and some are shorter. Just be creative!

2. Fold your fabric in half length wise and iron it.

3. Mark your fabric every 3 inches.

4. After they are marked cut them in scallops. Do this for the rest.

If you do some different lengths you may want to make the scallops different sizes. I did some 2 inches instead of 3.

5. Sew a gathering stitch along the middle crease that you ironed in.

7. Stitch along the scallops, a regular stitch not a gathering stitch.

8. Pull the gathering stitch gently. I broke a few and trust me it is a pain!

9. Put a dab of hot glue on the top of a stick

10. Wrap the fabric around the stick and keep gluing. You can either wrap it around the stick for a closed look or glue and wrap it around the bottom of the bottom of the fabric for an open look.

11. Put your flowers in a vase and be proud of your awesome work!
