{ satin flowers }

I really love using these flowers for everything. And

since I used them EVERYWHERE for my sisters

wedding, here is the tutorial.... finally! :)

 

 

What you'll need:

* satin fabric

* scissors

* candle/flame

* needle and thread

* pearls, feathers (optional)

* hot glue (optional)

 

Start by cutting out several different size circles

from you satin.

 

 Using extreme caution, hold the fabric near

the flame on a candle. Satin is synthetic and is

very flammable. Be very careful. You only want to

heat the edge of the circle, one at a time, until

it begins to shrivel. Do not hold it directly over

the flame.

 

Your heated pieces will look similar to this.

Stack your pieces largest to smallest.

 Using a needle and thread, sew all pieces

together through the center until secure.

 

Now you can add embellishments, like

pearls....

 

...and feathers!

These make cute hair pieces and are great

as embellishments in larger projects!

 

Alternating colors of satin is another fun

way to make these flowers.
