Mother's Day is coming!!! I love Mother's Day because it is a little reminder that us moms work hard and sacrifice so much for our kids (and husbands)! I've been putting some gifts together for my wonderful mother, mother-in-law, and for a few other moms that really deserve it!
These flowers are really simple and really cute! They can be used for almost everything! You can attach it to a hair clip, broach pin, scrapbook or even put it on top of a gift or gift bag! They're even cute put in a cluster and attached to a chain to make a bib necklace!
What you'll need:
- 2-3 inch wide strip of fabric, about 32 inches long.
- 3 inch square of felt.
- Aleene's Fast Grab Tacky Glue ( or any kind of really sticky glue)
- scissors
Start with your strip of fabric.
First tie a knot in one end of it.
Now put a dab of glue on the center of your felt square and put the knot on it.
Now hopefully I can explain this part well enough! Start wrapping fabric around the knot making a spiral. As you do it you will be twisting the fabric (like you would twist a wet rag or tootsie roll :) toward the center knot. Put a dab of glue down every few twists (about every half inch) to keep it secure. Stop when you have about an inch left of fabric.
Keep the spirals real close so you can't see the felt underneath.
When you get to the end, put a good amount of glue under the nearest lap of fabric.
And tuck the very end under there. Now hold it for a sec to make sure it's secure.
Trim the felt back after you've given it a chance to dry; about 5 min.
Now you can attach this to anything you like! I'll be putting mine on these cute aprons I made yesterday!
