I’m so excited to share these DIY Chiffon and Tulle flowers from Project Wedding. They are absolutely beautiful and you can use them in so many creative ways! I was thinking you can make a ribbon belt, hair pins or even sew them onto a shirt! These would also make gorgeous gifts!
Supplies:
Fabric (in your favorite color!) – Chiffon or Tulle, paper, pen, glass beads, scissors, pins, needles and thread, plain hair clip or ribbon for belt.
Directions:
Step One: Free hand a rose petal shape and cut out. You can trace a few so you have a backup pattern.
Step Two: Fold your Chiffon into a square a little larger than the pattern. Pin the paper pattern to the material and cut around. You’ll want to keep cutting layers so you can make a full flower. To make this flower they used 26 pieces of the chiffon.
Step Three: Stack fabric cutouts alternating so it gives a layered look. Use a needle and thread to secure them together in the middle. Then pinch together the bottom of the flower and secure with more stitches. This will create volume and give the flower a rounder shape.
Step Five: Sew some decorative glass beads in the center. You can then attach your flower to fabric, hair pin, belt, etc.
