SewMark06: Flower Pin

Fold it in half


Here’s what the petals look like open

Start by making larger ones and get progressively smaller. Not too small, though. For a large flower, you will need about 15 petals. Begin stacking them as shown

Here’s what it looks like when they are all stacked

Now get a needle and thread and pull the first stitch through the middle

Stitch a small ‘x’ so everything is in place well

Now that everything is secure, we are just going to form the flower more. I fold it in half and stitch it through

Then after that I fold in half again and make another stitch through

Here’s what it looks like after those steps

After that, tie it off in the back

You can add to it whatever you want to attach it. You can buy pins and glue it on, you can use a safety pin, a barette, whatever you want. You can also add fun things to the center like a pearl, a diamond, a fabric center, a button- anything!
